Taylor's birth date being March 17, 1996, is supported by RealGM, ESPN, Basketball Reference, his VEF Riga bio, and his Kansas City bio. An NBL article from April 5, 2020, refers to him as "the 24-year-old". His personal Twitter bio, however, gives the year of 1997 with no date. I have been inclined to use 1996 due to the array of sources supporting it in addition to the exact date but Taylor's own recollection of his birth year has shed some uncertainty on this. I will place a disputed tag in the article that can remain until the issue has been settled. CalDoesIt (talk) 19:33, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I would generally trust the other sources over a Twitter page. Unless there is more sources using 1997, I would remove the disputed tag. ~EDDY(talk/contribs)~ 22:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I think you have to go with the reliable sources on this one. People have been known to lie about their ages for various reasons. Rikster2 (talk) 16:32, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I just want to note that RealGM is unreliable most of the time so it should not be shown as an example. The other sources are acceptable and if they list 1996 as the year of Taylor's birth then that is what we should list. – Sabbatino (talk) 17:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
