Date of birth
[edit]The page that you've receive recently is a false profile. If you want proof that his Birthday is February 7th 1993 this link: https://m.facebook.com/david.dorfman.73#!/profile.php?id=100000517664415&tsid=0.5519920182637308&source=typeahead will provide such credible information as he (The actor himself!!!!) confirmed stating and I quote "Its my 18th birthday" on his 2011 timeline.

- I quote from that link:
"√ Verified Official Account
I am the real david dorfman.
I have a certificate account
from facebook. If you don't believe then leave"
- This is not in any way convincing. There is no blue tick next to his name as there is with other official accounts, there is no independent confirmation that he is the owner of that account. The information is not visible to all (I've commented about this on my talk page). This fails Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. Considering his birthday is the subject of dispute we cannot use poorly sourced information, and this is poorly sourced. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:31, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
I should explain that this date of birth has been the subject of dispute for a very long time. I am not sure whether any of this is malicious, but it may possibly be down to one or more fake Facebook profiles. After some searching we have been provided with a reference which clearly states the date of birth as 7 February 1993, so we do not have to use Facebook pages, with all their inherent problems. A link to Wikipedia discussions on this topic can be found here. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:16, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- This looks like it's been quite the project! Glad you finally got to the bottom of this dispute!Tmk2130 (talk) 18:20, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
