Siân?

The Welsh spelling of her first name is Siân. But we have no sources that directly support it. I see that even cy:Sian Gibson spells it without the hirnod (circumflex). Martinevans123 (talk) 17:20, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Did Sian Gibson ever actually do stand up?

Hi Septrillion thanks for re editing as I made a mistake on that one :)

I'm unsure who made the edit that she did stand up? I have looked on the internet and can't find any proof anywhere that she ever performed stand up. Is there a video link online of this? Just a big fan (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2018 (UTC) Just a big fan (talk) 17:47, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

She confirmed on the Taskmaster podcast ^[1] that she is neither a stand-up comedian nor an impressionist. Those categories should probably be removed. 73.117.43.76 (talk) 18:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank IP 73. But that podcast is over an hour long, so perhaps you could tell us when she says this? Martinevans123 (talk) 18:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's about 4:07. She actually states that the Wikipedia article is incorrect. 73.117.43.76 (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

The date of birth was "corrected", in 2017, with no supporting sources, here by User:Riverside72, who has made no other edits. This looks highly unreliable. IMDb gives 30 July, so I'd suggest that we either go with that (even though IMDb is deemed "unreliable"), or remove the date altogether. Martinevans123 (talk) 00:04, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The original edit [1] has 30 July. Would seem more likely that IMDb took their date from Wikipedia prior to the 2017 edit. The WP correction to 15 could be valid. Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 11:31, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very fair point. It's a shame that User:Riverside72, in their one single edit at Wikipedia, 18 months ago, did not provide any source. Nor did the IP who changed it again here yesterday. I guess a search of the birth registers might help. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The date of birth has been changed again (from 30 back to 15). Maybe it should be removed altogether? --Mondo Beer (talk) 08:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
