Date of birth

Please ensure that any date of birth added to the article is supported by sources meeting the reliable sources criteria. Per WP:DOB: "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object."--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:00, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the DOB again as it was sourced to a Horoscope section, written by the same individual who writes the horoscopes. This does not meet the reliable source criteria for the inclusion of personal information in BLPs.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see his birthdate verified. Eschoryii (talk) 11:05, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you just delete the whole section? I know for fact his brother Daniel McDonald was a notable person. His wife is an actor also. His brother has a Wikipedia page. Also you only say "independently notable and reliably sourced family is included." I am very sure this is a reliable source. Wikipedia does not call for sourced in the info box. I am going to add his wife and brother to the info box. Please don't delete it since he and his wife are actors. Have a wonderful day. MDSanker 00:56, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The entire section was deleted because none of it was supported by reliably sourced article content as is required by the Template:Infobox person instructions as well as policy. Also per policy, the names of individual family members are only included when independently notable and, again, when it is supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia articles do not meet reliable sourcing criteria as it consists of user-generated content (in addition to the caveats listed at Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia#Citing Wikipedia). Your personal knowledge of what you know to be true is irrelevant unless you can provide the reliable sources necessary to support the content; this is the crux of our BLP and verifiability policies (from said policy: "verifiability means that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors"). Any such additions will be removed until a source meeting WP:RS is provided to verify the material.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:10, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

this article has non-standard format, designed to prevent improvements. This has no early career, just inline blurbing of credits. this article needs restructuring ... 69.181.17.113 (talk) 16:08, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
