Date of birth

Date of birth is continually being changed by IPs and SPA accounts from November 14, 1972 to September 19, 1980. Date of birth was added by an IP without sourcingdiff but there are web articles that predate that addition so it looks like the IP got it from the web [1]. Texas State has her listed as "completing her theatre degree ... (B.A. ’97)" so that would have her born somewhere in the mid 1970s. Tagging claim since sourcing is not the greatest.

Cross referencing online bios, public record sources and genealogy sites have her as Edi Christine Patterson born 09/19/1974 (mylifedotcom hit)[2][3][4]. Planing to use this unless something better comes up. SomeRandomFilmArticleEditor (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Various editors and IPs have been inserting birth dates but none are referenced[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Deleting all birth dates until a reliable source shows up. SomeRandomFilmArticleEditor (talk) 12:47, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:BLPPRIVACY, which prohibits including a date of birth (or full name), without reliable sourcing. Also, please note that WP:BLPPRIMARY prohibits use of public records as sources in articles about living people. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
