I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Sarah Drew. Your edit summary said, "Birthday is available publicly in multiple places". Unfortunately that statement does not suffice. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources, which says, in part, "Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space." Also please see WP:BURDEN, which says, in part, "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."

The question to consider is, "How many of those 'multiple places' are reliable sources according to Wikipedia standards? Some may be reliable, but some may not be reliable. When no citation accompanies the date, no one can evaluate whether it came from a reliable source. If you will add the date with an accompanying citation, then readers and other editors will know the source and be able to determine whether it is reliable.

Please choose one or more of the sources to which you referred and add it or them with the date. When the date is accompanied by a citation to a valid source, it will be a welcome addition to the article. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:31, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
