Talk:Felicia Day

message: The internets firmly believe that Felicia was born June 28th, 1979 ( http://www.google.com/search?q=felicia+day+born ). This fits with starting college at 16 in 1995, as seen in her cited college resume. Can anyone at least confirm that she was born in 1979? Bluej100 (talk) 17:21, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm so sorry to be the jerk, but we still need a reliable source for the year.  I'm comfortable with the subject's blog entry as a clear source for the day (great find!), but I do not see the year in there.  We cannot source contested biographical information on a WP:BLP to IMDB, unfortunately (see the archives at WP:RS).  We also cannot guess at it.  I did a search a few days ago an did not easily find anything reliable, but I'm sure there's something out there.  I'm usually just fine with tagging something as "cite needed", but this is a BLP issue, so I'm going to remove the date again.  Let's agree on something here before re-adding it, please!

replies: text: Her LinkedIn resume ( http://www.linkedin.com/in/feliciaday ) lists her college education as 1995-2000, and her site's About page confims that she was 16 when she started college, so we have two cited sources pinning it down to 1979, assuming she started in the fall. Bluej100 (talk) 18:12, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless there's a specific, reliable source for that information, we cannot include it in a WP:BLP.  We can't make assumptions.  I'd be happy to use her personal linkedin profile to support the year she started college or any other explicitly stated data, but I do not see a year of birth there.  Kuru (talk) 14:53, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, and besides - "she started college at the age of X in Y", is pure original research. Only reliable sources that actually states the year of birth can be used. Nymf hideliho! 14:57, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. WP:CALC says that "routine mathematical calculations, such as ... calculating a person's age" are perfectly fine. – PeeJay 20:29, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly.  Given "June 28, 1979" it's a routine matehmatical calculation to get to an age of 31.  Such is not the case illustrated above. Kuru (talk) 20:50, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In one of Felicia Day's own edits she called the June, 28, 1979 date "incorrect"  which casts a shadow of a doubt. --Musicbuff3643 (talk) 02:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Her IMDB page has her birth year as 1977. ~ Josh "Duff Man" (talk) 06:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Kuru, what reasonable source is there for 1979? ~ Josh "Duff Man" (talk) 22:34, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

text: If you're not happy with the one on the page, remove it along with the date.  It cannot be replaced with imdb, however - the reliability of that source is an old discussion on wikipedia. Kuru (talk) 22:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  Seems to me the LA Times is reliable enough to pin down a year, and the subject herself is reliable enough on her birthday to provide month and day. --joe deckertalk 18:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Correcting myself, I retract the note above.  I hadn't read all the sections below, the problem of usually reliable sources giving different answers on this is serious.  Nevermind.  :) --joe deckertalk 18:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Birth date

message: I removed the birth date again. I don't care what was said on that podcast, there are plenty of ostensibly reliable sources (including, as I pointed out earlier, her own autobiography) that support 1977 or 1978, so unless someone shows up with her birth certificate, we can only speculate.

replies: text: Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. A file name and a tweet that simply confirms contributing to the crowdfunding aren't really WP:RS to confirm that the character is Felicia Day instead of just looking like her. The other video game characters listed were all explictly roles that Day has played.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:05, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

message: There is a blatant WP:BLP violation at her birthdate, including false citations: The resume cite gives her full name but NO birthdate. The Alabama cite gives only a year and no specific birthdate. We cannot make unsubstantiated claims with false citations, and with a living person’s biography, uncited personal-life claims must be removed. The only thing an RS source cites is her year — nothing else.—2604:2000:1382:C5DD:EC6E:F801:6375:C8D1 (talk) 05:10, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
