Date of birth for Trevor Donovan

Greetings! I have removed the date of birth entirely from the Trevor Donovan article. Content must be verifiable, and no reliable source is provided in the article for Donovan's date of birth. Accordingly—and especially since it is a biography of a living person—the date must be removed until it is sourced. Please note that IMDB is, by community consensus, not a reliable source for biographical information on actors, other than roles they've played. —C.Fred (talk) 05:05, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

January 2012

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Trevor Donovan. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Please stop changing the birthdate unless you can provide a reliable source which states a different year. Note that IMDb is NOT a reliable source for this information.

April 2012

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Trevor Donovan, you may be blocked from editing. You have been told repeatedly that you need a reliable source to change the birth date. Logical Fuzz (talk) 10:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Trevor Donovan, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Bbb23 (talk) 17:15, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Donovan's thebiography.com profile suffers the same problems his Facebook profile does: it's a self-published source, and per prior discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard (Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 92#Facebook as a source for birth dates), secondary sources trump self-published ones for dates of birth. Please do not change the date again based on thebiography.com or any other self-published site; such a change will likely get your account blocked. You are welcome to join the discussion on the matter at Talk:Trevor Donovan about the issue or to open a new discussion at WP:RSN, but I strongly suggest you not change the article until/unless consensus develops on those pages to support the change. —C.Fred (talk) 23:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
