Comment: Kindly stop using AI to word and edit this draft, it is not permitted. Secondly, while the "obituary" is helpful to some degree, it is actually a death notification from the funeral service, so neither independent nor subject to editorial oversight. An obituary by a journalist would be a better source, since what is needed here is the WP:GOLDENRULE. Now for cartoonists, photographers and similar people this can be difficult, since journalists tend not to want to write about them, but it's a straight requirement for notability.
