Talk:Amira Casar

Date of birth
I noticed that Amira's date of birth is not mentioned. It does appear on her IMDb page: Born: May 1, 1971 in London, England, UK.

 * Thanks, however IMDb is user-updated and so not a reliable source.— TAnthonyTalk06:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

According to their biographical data guidelines, adding the date of birth can only be made by showing proof in the form of a public record, printed publication or an official document. Any other attempt to add a date and place of birth is being immediately rejected. So unlike most of the other data on IMDb, the date of birth is actually reliable. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9T242VQADZUQM?ref_=helpsrall#birthdeath — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galyefet2 (talk • contribs)


 * This wasn't always a guideline at IMDb, and having added plenty of info myself to IMDb I am dubious that the webmasters follow this reliably. In any case, IMDb is still user-updated and there's pretty much a blanket prohibition on all sites in which this is the case. If you like to change this you can bring up the topic at Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 05:54, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

(outdent) VIAF also gives 1971 as her date of birth. --Omnipaedista (talk) 14:30, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Parentage and background
Hi, I am confused about where this information regarding her mother being the Opera singer has come from? Can someone provide a citation, because I think this is an erroneous contribution that has been made and is potentially misleading. Also, Amira Casar is thought to be of Kurdish descent, not Persian. 82.1.77.19 (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
