Talk:Humberto Belli

Date of birth? edit

Humberto Belli's date of birth is given as September 7, 1945; the article also links to the page for his daughter Gioconda Belli, whose date of birth is given as December 9, 1948. Other dates in the article about Gioconda Belli tend to support a 1948 DoB for GB as plausible, which suggests that Humberto Belli's DoB is incorrect (the other possibility is that he fathered her at the age of 3 years, which would probably merit some comment on his Wikipedia page ;-) ). An entry in Geni for Humberto Belli Zapata includes a DoB of November 8, 1914 for HB. The Geni record also indicates a DoD for HB of July 2007. Slamwp (talk) 01:02, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Slamwp, thank you for that catch. That error was introduced by an IP editor here—this Humberto is her brother, not her father. I didn’t realize her father was also named Humberto, but I’ll try to find an RS so I can spell that out in the entry and hopefully avoid the error being reintroduced. For now I’ve fixed the error. Thanks again! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:37, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I was able to get a CC-licensed screengrab of a 2020 interview so hopefully that also helps any readers who are confused about whether he was born in 1914. Innisfree987 (talk) 02:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
