Birthdate inclusion

Elli, you removed the birthdate on the basis that it's a primary source. Birthdates are occasionally derived from calculations (allowed via WP:CALC) when there are no secondary sources listing the birthdate but the person publishes it themselves. Do you raise an issue with the correctness or faithful reflection of the sources? SWinxy (talk) 01:46, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@SWinxy: I don't doubt the accuracy here but given that we're deriving this from multiple tweets inclusion seems to be a bit iffy with regards to WP:BLPPRIVACY. I won't revert if you want to reinstate it but I'd suggest asking at WP:BLPN before doing so. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:01, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Coincidentally there's a discussion there related to DoB inference on the noticeboard. BLPPRIVACY cautions against things that the subject would reasonably want made private (when ...it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public), so I would argue that publishing your birth day to a large public audience gives an implicit allowability. I've seen including a CALC birthday been done before where there has been consensus that they pass under CALC and BLPPRIVACY (e.g. Dream (YouTuber) iirc). SWinxy (talk) 02:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't have a super strong opinion on this, so I'm not going to challenge you if you want to re-add it. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

I didn't meant to be combative or anything! It was a good decision to remove the PS listing his name. SWinxy (talk) 19:00, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Why does this page exist?

I suggest this article should be nominated for deletion as 'twitter shitposter and internet troll', even if backed up with credible sources, is not a credible claim of significance. Fnuciton (talk) 20:21, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

@Fnuciton: if you think the page should be deleted, feel free to nominate it at WP:AFD. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Phillip Buchanan

Isn't the person who runs the account Phillip Buchanan? I noticed that it had been apart of the article earlier but was removed and I'm unsure as to why. I noticed that the source from OpenCorporates showing Buchanan as being the sole owner of "CATTURD, LLC." was described as having needed a better citation, I'm not too sure what it meant since you can confirm this from looking at the CATTURD, LLC. snapshot report on Sunbiz, could someone help me out here?

That's what's been said online and listed in filings, but per WP:BLPPRIVACY, only include when full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public. He definitely would object to his name being included, but he's tweeted about his birthday and age, so it can go in. SWinxy (talk) 00:59, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, makes sense! B3251 (talk) 01:43, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
