Check Intelius here on Wikiepdia. An article without a DOB for a person becomes incomplete. I'm trying to make it complete. What is your source to deny this person's DOB? Are you this person? You should give your reason before you decide to erase it? Wikipedia works on Consensus. Thanks.

I do not know which of the many dates posted (if any) is correct. However, in the case of living individuals (and this person appears to be living), very real concerns about identity theft argue for leaving DOB out of articles. I have been sensitized to this harsh reality from very painful personal experience. Wikifanbuffer (talk) 21:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC) --- I do agree with you. How many of us are notable - May be 0.01% or less. For older ones it may be ok to add as a notable. But there are who try to add themselves with so many facts about them (usually good things - have we verified those facts?). Considering that, it may be ok if we try to add the age showing that someone indeed became wikipedia notable at a young age (It is true with this person). Everyting could be identity theft on wikipedia if you think so.

I believe that Intelius records (US records) look correct for many. Intelius gives just the year, not the date and month to the public - I do not think it is a big deal if someone is ready to live with that. Localsales (talk) 22:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
