Morgan was born December 3, 1931 as many online sources show. What exactly constitutes a RS for birth dates? Thanks. Maineartists (talk) 18:38, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
That's a good question, Maineartists. Many websites that give dates of birth have user-generated content, which eliminates them. WP:USERGENERATED lists Ancestry.com, Facebook, Fandom, Find a Grave, Goodreads, IMDb, Instagram, ODMP, Reddit, TikTok, Tumblr, TV Tropes, Twitter, and Wikipedia as examples from that category. Self-published sites (such as blogs) are also not acceptable. WP:RSSELF has comments about those.
When an article is about a living person, such as Jaye P. Morgan, additional concerns apply. WP:BLPPRIVACY goes into some detail about avoiding use of primary sources. That eliminates use of state birth indexes and other sources that rely on birth certificates.
