Talk:Kathryn Smith (American football)

Age
Reliable sources report her age as 30. I don't see what relevance has for someone born in the 1980s, especially as we don't know for certain that she attended kindergarten or elementary school in that district. Mackensen (talk) 03:44, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't think unless a birthdate can be generated from some source that a birth year should be included because while it says 30, it's unlikely there's any truth to that. I'll leave it alone because my arguments against are based on speculation, but it's unlikely she actually is 30. Why? If she was born in 85 or 86 that means she entered her senior year at the age of 16 and would of started kindergarten at the age of 4 (starting in 1990) which is rare. I don't think it's a coincidence that she went to high school in Syracuse with a graduation year of 2003 and the cut off date for Syracuse public schools is December 1, 1985 to graduate in 2003. Despite what the reliable source says, none of this adds up for their being truth for her being 30. But again, my theories are based on pure speculation and I understand speculation has no place on Wikipedia so I will leave it alone but will continue to attempt to locate a reliable source with a birthday.


 * On an unrelated note, this is a monumental moment for the NFL.-- 717 04:11, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Very monumental, I agree. Source skepticism is important, but I've seen multiple articles saying that she's 30. I've seen no public source for that information, so it could only have come from either her, her family, or the Bills. Absent more information, I think we have to leave it as is. Wikipedia reflects reality, it doesn't create it. Mackensen (talk) 12:50, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah all the sources I located said 30 as well which is part of the reason I left it alone. We gotta go by what we can prove, and so far, that proof is her being 30. I imagine sometime before the 2016 season starts, they will have a more detailed bio which usually includes full name, date of birth, personal life, kids, etc then we can go from there and hopefully use that to expand this article a bit. With how quickly the article came up, it has turned out pretty well.
