Age when Elbaz moved to Israel

[edit]

In the "Early life and education" section of the article, it states that "His family immigrated to Israel when Elbaz was eight months old" and cites https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/03/16/ladies-man as the source. However, in another source (https://www.vogue.com/article/remembering-alber-elbaz-hamish-bowles) it clearly states that he left Casablanca, Morocco at the age of ten. Another article (https://www.wsj.com/articles/alber-elbaz-fashion-designer-who-revived-lanvin-brand-dies-at-age-59-11619620542) is unclear only stating that he grew-up in Israel. Finally, another source (https://www.cnn.com/style/article/alber-elbaz-designer-dies-intl/index.html) says that he lived in Israel from the age of one. Any thoughts on which of these sources is correct and whether we should strike this sentence as there is clearly a discrepancy among reliable sources about this fact?

I tried to look for a more definitive answer but basically kept finding these options. I am inclined to believe “ten” is the error given statements about growing up in Israel and because I can very easily imagine that in moving among different languages as he often did in interviews, someone might have misheard or mistranscribed “when I was ten months” for “when I was ten”. That would square with eight months (which the New Yorker would have fact-checked, highly reliable) and about “a year”, but the reverse is hard to imagine— hearing “when I was ten years old” and thinking one year or eight months. Nevertheless, we could remove the age and simply say he moved in childhood. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
