Currently after the person's death several things are removed:
- Projects on which person has collaborated
- Activity of that person on Geni
- Contact information (personal sites, etc)
All of this information can be quite valuable to somebody doing research on that individual years, decades, centuries later.
Please note that it is understood that these things should be "locked", since the individual will no longer participate in projects or do further revisions, here the request is only to make them visible, not to keep them somehow active.
