If any other members of staff want to chime in, go forth.

I personally do not feel that the grounds for change to "Unknown" have been met. All I see is speculation and fan theories.

We have explained our stance on "Deceased" vs "Unknown" multiple times, but it does not seem that you wish to listen to us. As stated numerous times already, we typically use it in cases of a Cliffhanger/Incomplete Scene where we REALLY do not know what happened. We may also, occasionally, use it in situations where we have contradictory information -- ie: Aogiri kidnapping Investigators assumed dead, Shachi last seen with folks that were actively conspiring against V. But this really isn't one of them.

Your entire argument is based on a single panel, which may or may not have simply been human error. Ishida makes errors all the time (Take has six fingers, Dr. Kanou cannot Math, ect), so we cannot be certain if he simply forgot to draw Tatara.....or whether a 180+ cm dude simply....got up and walked away in the middle of a battle.

But those don't fit our Criteria for Unknown Status.

If Blue Luna, Dolphin Knight, or Old McDonald have a different opinion on the matter....I obviously cannot speak for them on that. (Much as I try! :/ )

Article stays as is for the moment, unless a Community Decision goes through.

Like I said already, folks are welcome to discuss stuff. Theories are great, but I don't feel this deserves an Article rewrite solely because one person wants it.
