Should an unsourced profile of a long-deceased

Question

Should an unsourced profile of someone who died in the 1940's remain private? Memories of such people are obviously getting scarce and unreliable, which makes further connections  difficult. Someone has suggested that 21 sources could be added.

It's Carr-5878. I have no particular desire to add sources, but there are reasonable limits to protecting privacy

Thank you.

Shouldn't that be 2042, the 150 years since death rule applies?

Gary, you may be right. This gentleman died in 1947. 1947 plus 100 is 2047. 150 years since birth which would be 1892 plus 150 which would be 2042. There's an "or" there, not an "and," so I suppose 2042 could be right, as you say. The prepositions make a difference. Thanks!

The PM is active, I’d suggest adding some of the sources as comments on the profile.
