I don't believe it's necessary to list the birth and death years when mentioning someone whose name is linked to an article about that person. The birth/death years are not relevant in the context of the article, so it adds unnecessary clutter; if someone is interested in the person, then the linked article has all the biographical information.

Previous similar discussion: Talk:Milligan Street, Perth#Inclusion of birth/death years for people in this article (in which Dan arndtagreed that "birth/death dates is superfluous to the article").
