Nancy Farmer (author) → Nancy Farmer – Primary topic. Politician: 202, Author: 1243. Marcus Qwertyus 22:39, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and WP:How2title - the award winning author seem quite clearly to be the primary topic over the former state treasurer. Should not even be controversial. Also, per WP:TWODABS there is no need for a dab page, just a hatnote link from Nancy Farmer (once this article is moved) to Nancy Farmer (politician). --Born2cycle (talk) 07:46, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support, clearly the primary topic. Agree with B2C about the dab page being deleted and a hatnote being added. Jenks24 (talk) 20:08, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vital data

ISFDB gives legal name Nancy Forsythe Farmer; birthdate 1941-07-09. It lists five resources (sources, suggested further reading, or whatnot?): her website, three interviews, and us.[1]

We give birthdate 1941-07-07 in the infobox only and give no source.

LC gives no full name or birthdate.[2]

--P64 (talk) 16:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LC does list birthdate 19410707 (July 7) but we seem to be the source ("Found in").

Wikidata lists July 9 citing VIAF which gives only year 1941.

German wikipedia de:Nancy Farmer gives July 9 but may follow ISFDB. The national library DNB gives only year 1941.
