An interesting idea... news organizations prepare obits all the time, so I don't see why we shouldn't. Though we should be a bit careful about writing them, since our content is open to the public. It's such a bummer that we can't copy from Wikipedia, though.

Seems like I remember a prepared Wikinews obit a while ago that turned out, after the person actually died, to be an unsourced copyvio of Wikipedia, and sorting that out took long enough that we ended up with no obit for the person at all — we might have done better (and couldn't have done worse) without a prepared obit. --Pi zero (talk) 21:21, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
