Birthdate[edit]

I removed the birthdate.

Before even thinking about restoring it, please read: WP:DOB S Philbrick (Talk) 15:09, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The subject ticket:2019120610002527 Has requested removal of the birthdate. Current policy permits removal of the month and day of birth, and only permits the year of birth by a reliable source. Restoration of the day and month will result in a block. I think it is only fair to await resolution of the question of the reliability of the source for the year. Please discuss.--S Philbrick (Talk) 22:06, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DOB states as follows, "With identity theft a serious ongoing concern, people increasingly regard their full names and dates of birth as private. 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 to the details being made public. If a subject complains about our inclusion of their date of birth, or the person is borderline notable, err on the side of caution and simply list the year, provided that there is a reliable source for it. In a similar vein, articles should not include postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, or other contact information for living persons, although links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted. See § Avoid misuse of primary sources regarding the misuse of primary sources to obtain personal information about subjects.

If you see personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, account numbers, etc. in a BLP or anywhere on Wikipedia, edit the page to remove it and contact the oversight team so that they can evaluate it and possibly remove it from the page history. To reduce the chances of triggering the Streisand effect, use a bland edit summary and do not mention that you will be requesting Oversight."

There is nothing saying "Current policy permits removal of the month and day of birth, and only permits the year of birth by a reliable source." That is a policy that you made up. Unless Jeanie Tracy requested that her date of birth be removed from this page, there is no question that it should go back. Furthermore, "if" you are an admin and block me for this, I will open up a claim on Admins noticeboard and request your removal of adminship for abuse of power. As for "I think it is only fair to await resolution of the question...", if that is the case, you have to leave the page in the state it was before you removed anything. And it just to help you with that, it says "When you find a passage in an article that is biased, inaccurate, or unsourced the best practice is to improve it if you can rather than deleting salvageable text." And please clean up your comments and stop making one-sentenced paragraphs. Horizonlove (talk) 07:55, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Horizonlove, "Unless Jeanie Tracy requested that her date of birth be removed from this page, " She did, I stated that above. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:13, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"At a young age, Tracy began singing in her church choir at Pentecostal Church of God in Christ"[edit]

Not in the source cited, which merely states ..."the church choir in Fresno, where she grew up". [1] Where has "Pentecostal Church of God in Christ" come from? 86.143.231.214 (talk) 08:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
