This blog is wrong. Oda is a mangaka who rarely kills any character in a non-flashback. So for the most part when it comes to Oda it is "alive until proven otherwise." By your logic we should put the dead characters category on Bellamy's page. With Sabo it was said in Databook Green which means it can be said he is dead.
