Birth town?
has stated that the sentence in the article declaring that Gateshead is the birth town is incorrect. They have stated at User talk:86.22.54.151 that they are in possession of a copy of the birth certificate which lists Highgate, Islington, London as the place of birth (the IP stated here that the birth certificate has it as Highbury, Islington, London; I'm not very familiar with London&mdash;are these two "Highs" the same place?) The problem I see with this is that the WP:NOR policy does not allow for unsubstantiated claims such as these (the purported birth certificate might be admissible as a primary source if it can be uploaded, but I would not be able to offer advice about this). What we are left with is multiple sources which name Gateshead as the place, such as Hamodia, Yated, YWN, VIN and Patch (quoting VIN, ironically). However, these sources all seem to be quoting this article, which has been saying it is Gateshead since it was first inserted by on November 30, 2006. FTT, who has since only made 1 edit here in 13 years, did not provide a source for Gateshead. Furthermore, they are the primary author of History of the Jews in North East England, a badly sourced article which includes the Gateshead area. I'm not sure what to make of all this, but I doubt we can leave the birthplace as London without a reliable source backing it up. Another option is to list England as the birthplace temporarily (until this matter can be clarified) since that is not controversial. What do others think?

 * My bad. Certificate states "1937 birth in the Sub-district of Highbury in the Metroplitan Borough of Islington"
 * Born 28th November 1937 to Jacob Salomon and Adelheid Salomon nee Ucko 86.22.54.151 (talk) 01:30, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. For what it's worth, I would take what you are saying here at face value and leave the birthplace as London, for now. However, be aware that relying on birth certificates can be fraught with danger because it is a primary source. One of the main problems is that connecting a paper record to a real person may constitute original research. I am only suggesting leaving it as London because I'm suspicious that the above sources simply copied the information from WP (to get a feel for the problems using birth certificates&mdash;and why they nevertheless may have some merit&mdash;see for example, , and ). I suggest you ask at the help desk, the Teahouse, or the Commons help desk about how to upload a copy of the birth certificate. Once that step is done, the editors here will evaluate the evidence, and hopefully enable them to come to a consensus. Otherwise, there is a real potential for this matter to turn into an edit war, which we should try to avoid at all costs. Hope this helps.  Stony Brook  babble 07:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
