Birth date

I found a couple of news sources that list his birthday as May 30, 1950. Are these reliable enough to be used in the article? I wanted to double check before I added it back in. Random character sequence (talk) 20:09, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for starting this discussion regarding the disputed birth date. As mentioned on my talk page, bollywoodlife is a blog and definitely not a reliable source. The second, at first glance, appears more reliable, but if you look closer you can see they've lifted their images without any type of attribution and there is no information on their website as to where they obtain their information, their privacy policy or disclaimers. That's dodgy and doesn't meet the "published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" required to be considered a reliable source. I will also note for those who want to join the discussion who may be unfamiliar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, this policy requires that any birth date added is supported by multiple reliable sources. There are a number of dates available across the internet, but none so far have met the reliable sourcing criteria. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:55, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help. If I come across a better source, I'll post it here. Random character sequence (talk) 19:14, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
