Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Cary (valet)
Meets  with several reliable sources. Wikipedia has guidelines on citing dates if definite dates of birth and/or death are not known MOS:APPROXDATE. One point says "Other forms of uncertainty should be expressed in words, either in article text or in a footnote: April 14, 1224 (unattested date). Do not use a question mark (1291?), because it fails to communicate the nature of the uncertainty." So the lead sentence could have 'John Cary (August 1729 (unattested date) - 2 June 1843)'. He did claim that as his birth date, and that claim is referenced. We have no sources, primary or secondary, to prove or disprove his date of birth, so all we can say is that he claimed it, and it's unattested. I would disagree that he was "loosely" connected with a famous man, and I agree with
