Talk:Kris Ife

Untitled
I do not understand why this article does not meet the Criterior for inclusion in wikipedia and intend to fix it as soon as I know what is required Zrosemarie (talk) 20:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Rosemarie Edwards

Birth details
According to the official register of births held at Ancestry.com, Christopher J. Ife was born in Aylesbury in the second quarter of 1941, not 1946 (and married in 1968). Electoral registers show a Christopher J. Ife living in Ipswich in 2003 (the only Ife in Ipswich), so that matches. I can't see a birth date in any of his obits, only a (possibly assumed) age, although there are early photos of him here. In the 1958 photo, he looks more like 17 than 12!!. Any thoughts, on his actual birth name and date? Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:56, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

PS: It's likely that the 1946 birth date included in this article originated from this 45cat biography, which is a user-generated source and inherently unreliable. The originator of the 45cat biography has said (by email) that he "would have accessed most of my information on Kris Ife from various sources on the internet", without being specific. Any more information is welcome. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:07, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
