Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Biographies of living people
We have pretty high standards of sources for WP:BLPs. Birth dates can be controverial and need very good sources meeting WP:RS, thus sites such as IMBD (which has a lot of user-generated material) can't be used. Dougweller (talk) 15:09, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
