Date of birth
User:Delaywaves recently added Perkins's date of birth to the lead section. The infobox already included his date of birth and listed it as April 18, 1949. I am removing the date of birth altogether because it's unsourced and because a quick online search did not turn up anything that corroborates it. Also, I see two sources that draw it into question. A Feb. 2019 article from the NYP (https://nypost.com/2019/02/01/councilman-bill-perkins-blames-bizarre-behavior-on-health-issues/) lists Perkins's age as 68, which makes a 1949 DOB impossible. Second, this source (https://www.thehistorymakers.org/biography/honorable-bill-perkins), which may or may not be reliable, recites a 1944 date of birth. Does anyone have a source that would clear up this confusion? Amandil21 (talk) 02:13, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
