Talk:Deborra-Lee Furness

message: Anonymous editors keep changing her date of birth back and forth between 1955 and 1960. Does anyone have a reliable source for either of these dates?
:On Katie Couric's daytime show Hugh Jackman said she was 8 years older than him, making her birth in or around 1960. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.220.255 (talk • contribs)  00:23, 19 December 2012‎ 
in IMDB it's been set to 1960.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.127.6.10 (talk) 19:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Everyone needs to stop edit warring over the birth year. This sterile edit war has been going on since at least November 2006! Just cut it out already. If we aren't sure of some biographical detail in a biography of living people, then we remove it. Edit warring over it is not acceptable. I don't know what you mean by finding out "officially" but even if you went and asked her herself, it's still not acceptable for Wikipedia. We only use reliable and verifiable third party sources and for BLPs the sourcing needs to be high quality. Anything that's user generated content like IMDB is not acceptable sourcing for a bio. In any event, I've removed the year. There's no 'rule' that says we have to include someone's year of birth and if we don't know or we aren't totally sure and there are conflicting sources then it's far better to simply leave it out.

replies: text: Well, it seems that the issue is settled then. Even the IMDB admits now it is 1955. Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 07:32, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

text: No, I am not an agent or publicist for anyone. Wikipedia demands reliable-source citations, and IMDb is a wikia that is not considered a reliable source for footnote references. And the policy at Biographies of Living Persons is strict in saying that we cannot make personal claims about living people without proper, reliable, quality sourcing. Everything is here in these blue-linked policies. We can't include anyone's birth date, birth place, statements about family or medical conditions, etc. without impeccable citation.--Tenebrae (talk) 20:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  For what that's worth, isn't the birthday less interesting than the family she came from? She has no mother or father here, and what sort of business they were in ..... I always find that the family background of people is more interesting than their exact birthday. Never mind, the secrecy points to secret service. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:C18A:F335:E865:C34 (talk) 04:51, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

message: As I explained in two edit summaries, the "cites" for her birthdate were absolutely false. I found a cite for Nov. 30, with her husband Hugh Jackman saying it publicly on Today on 29 November 2018. But if we're going to state a year, WP:BLP requires an WP:RS citation.--2604:2000:1382:C5DD:C068:CE9D:D43F:C9C (talk) 13:49, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
