No category?

Vycl1994 (talk) i'm sure they can help for this because there no category like birth and others. also he died from blood cancer.

Age at death, date of birth

[edit]

Someone has just changed Gurung's birth date in the infobox from a day in 1939 to one in 1935, but left it as 1939 in the lead. At a glance in Google, sources with 1939 have contrived URLs and I'm guessing they're parroting what's here; a couple that seem possibly independent say 1935. In addition, I see his age at death in 2016 given as 80 or 81, which would eliminate 1939 as the correct year of birth. Can we get this straightened out?

The source here (which is used in the Early life section) is an interview, in which he says that he was born on 22 Mansir, 1996, a Vikram Samvat date that corresponds to 7 December 1939. Maybe there are other sources that are more reliable, though? I have changed the dates in the infobox for now, since we do have a source for that, but I am not claiming that I know it is the best source to use. --bonadea contributions talk 10:51, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
