There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Dave Stewart (keyboardist) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pppery, responding to your revert of his year of birth based on an Instagram birthday post. I don't think the RM is the best place to discuss the content of an article. To highlight the policy, WP:DOB says that something along the lines of "today is my 50th birthday" (emphasis added) may be usable if there is no reason to doubt it. I guess my question boils down to whether there is genuine dispute that these posts (33! ... [cake emoji] and 29 [balloon emoji], both on the same day of the year) are not equivalent to "today is my x birthday" (or "very recently ..." at the least, omitting the specific date). If the article had included the date/year all along, I reckon it wouldn't have been questioned at the move discussion (the DOBs for Dave Stewart (keyboardist) and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) are both completely uncited, lol).

The fact of the matter is the RM is discussing that content issue, whether it's the best place to or not. * Pppery *it has begun... 16:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
