Birth date

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)[reply]

I Will link her very own written blog Entry from her B-Day 2008, I think that should be enough. Pink (talk) 19:20, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good find! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluej100 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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! Kuru (talk) 01:04, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

I disagree. WP:CALC says that "routine mathematical calculations, such as ... calculating a person's age" are perfectly fine. – Pee Jay 20:29, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

In one of Felicia Day's own edits she called the June, 28, 1979 date "incorrect" [1] which casts a shadow of a doubt. --Musicbuff3643 (talk) 02:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Her IMDB page has her birth year as 1977. ~ Josh "Duff Man" (talk) 06:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kuru, what reasonable source is there for 1979? ~ Josh "Duff Man" (talk) 22:34, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

This LA Times article says Day is 34, which would make her born in 1977. --Weazie (talk) 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Does she really need two photos in the article? The second photo doesn't tell us anything new about her or the character(s) she's played, and she's not old enough that a "young" and "old" photo is needed.
