Birth information[edit]

I'm going to revert the recent changes on Myers birth details, as there needs to be evidence that we are talking about the same Bob Myers per Wikipedia:Don't build the Frankenstein.—Bagumba (talk) 05:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. There are at least two articles from 2012 that list Bob Myers age as 37. The one here dated December 22, 2012 and a May 17, 2012 article from the Associate Press. That makes the March 31st birthdate very credible and all but eliminates the possibility that he is being confused with somebody else. Also, the fact that he attended high school in Danville, which is in Contra Costa County is another reason. Additionally, as the source indicates, a Myers with the same birthdate was living in the Los Angeles area at the same time Bob Myers was attending UCLA is a third reason. I'm going to resubmit the 1975 birthdate and include the AP article as an additional reference. - (Igbo (talk) 20:00, 7 May 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Sorry, this is pretty much original research. Fine work if we were investigators, but Wikipedia requires verifiability. Most likely being the same person is different than this definitively is the same person.—Bagumba (talk) 22:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given the WP:SILENCE, there is WP:No consensus to add the disputed birth info. I will remove the information.—Bagumba (talk) 18:25, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The UCLA Men's Basketball Media Guides for the 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 seasons state that Bob Myers' Date of Birth is March 31, 1975. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atrojanedbruin (talk • contribs) 02:47, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
