Deaths in December 2007

The following is a list of notable '''deaths in December 2007'''.

Entries for each day are listed <u>alphabetically</u> by surname. A typical entry lists information in the following sequence: * Name, age, country of citizenship at birth, subsequent country of citizenship (if applicable), reason for notability, cause of death (if known), and reference. <!-- * * * * * * * Please adhere to the guidelines below when adding a name to this article. * * * * * * *

(1) Please add only those meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines. Please include a reference to a reliable source. If a Wikipedia article for the deceased does not yet exist, please reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, please consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Wikipedia article are removed after one month.

(2) Please understand that the intent of this article is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily render the deceased "notable". If you report the death of a subject that does not already have a Wikipedia article, please consider starting one, provided that the deceased is notable. Please include third-party sources other than the obituary.

(3) Please add entries in alphabetical order by family name. Please avoid overlinking. As such, please do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death. Rather, please include only "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you.

(4) References should be in <ref>[url & title]</ref> format, as full citations make the page too slow to load, and too big to edit.
