Talk:Jamie-Lee O'Donnell

Age
Since there's no consensus among reference how old she is I have removed this completely, since it's too confusing. We can't use Companies House due to WP:BLPPRIMARY. There's lots of references that say she's 33 such as this but at the time it was published our article contained the 4 March 1987 date of birth (which would indeed have made her 33), but it's referenced by Companies House and it might not be the same person, so did they get their information from Wikipedia or not? The Tab said she was 28 as of 2 August 2019. The Irish News described her (apparently using her words, looking at the context) as "20-something" on 18 January 2018, which would be an odd phrase to use if the March 1987 date of birth was correct, as far from being "20-something" she would in fact have been 30 on that date. The Buzz, in an article dated 12 January 2018, says she's 26. We can't just pick one and hope it's correct. FDW777 (talk) 08:31, 28 August 2020 (UTC)


 * see above comments regarding the lack of clarity on even a year of birth of this person. In addition a reference published 4 December 2018 that says "the 26-year-old" does not confirm a 1992 year of birth. FDW777 (talk) 14:41, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Recent Guardian article [] published 1 Jan 2022 reports age 34, which would agree with the 4 March 1987 DOB Jlprovan (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2022 (UTC)


 * So do we just disregard all the other claimed ages? Surely it's better to leave it out entirely than include something that may not be correct? FDW777 (talk) 21:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Quite simply, Yes. Of all the sources listed here The Guardian is the only source considered reliable.Applewoodsample (talk) 02:21, 21 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Your suggestion that the Irish News and Irish Times are unreliable is laughable. I can only assume you didn't even bother to read the claimed reference you added since it doesn't even give a date of birth. FDW777 (talk) 07:51, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Add a claimed age of 29 on 6 January 2022 to the list. FDW777 (talk) 08:23, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

,, These two sources both claim she was born in March 1992:

 * https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/derry-girls-star-jamie-lee-23749885

This one simply states 1992 - https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/tv/channel-4s-derry-girls-cast-23656386

I'd support leaving this out for now since the dates seem to vary across multiple sources, evidenced by those shown in the previous comments with linked articles. Helper201 (talk) 00:02, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

University location
De Montfort University is in Leicester, UK. Not Bedford as the article Hyperlinks the location to. The hyperlink for the uni itself is correct 86.0.202.222 (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

The article referenced is actually an incorrect source for this statement (4)

In the article it calls the uni ‘De Montford’ and says it is in Bedfordshire?

Consider removing the reference? emperor nero (talk) 00:37, 13 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Per De Montfort University the university had a campus in Bedford, and the reference states she studied in Bedfordshire. Leicester doesn't come into the equation. FDW777 (talk) 13:40, 13 January 2022 (UTC)


 * "After a brief stint at Leicester’s De Montfort University" doesn't confirm which campus she attended. Other references in addition to the Irish Times already cited are clear on this, Irish Independent say She followed her dreams by studying performing arts at university in Bedfordshire, Radio Times say Jamie Lee is another Derry native who studied Performing Arts and Dance at De Montford University in Bedfordshire, BBC say later studied Performing Arts and Dance at De Montford University in Bedfordshire.

Change Bedfordshire to Leicestershire. De Montfort university is in Leicester. 92.31.176.95 (talk) 03:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: see above discussion. You could join in there and suggest wording that would clear up this confusion, though going into too much detail about the university's history would probably be WP:UNDUE Cannolis (talk) 03:55, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
