We cannot make uncited personal-life claims, including uncited claims of birth dates, per WP:BLP. These need WP:RS citing. As well, we do not highlight unproven allegations in the WP:LEAD, which is a summary of why the person is notable. Additionally, per WP:BLPCRIME, "A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law," and in this case there is not even a charge but simply a claim. While they may or may not be notable for the article body, it has no bearing on his notability and does not belong in the lead. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:46, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, birth dates, birthplace, claims of full name and claims of education are personal-life claims that require WP:RS citing, per WP:BLP. Any article that violates this needs to be brought up to standard, not used as an example. WP:OTHERSTUFF. Please note that WP:3RR doesn't apply to removal of uncited BLP claims, so edit-warring to reinsert uncited personal-life claims will lead to a block.

It comes down to: If your claims are correct, you should be able to provide RS citing. If you can't provide RS citing, that should be a red flag. Please note Wikipedia disallows the wikia IMDb to used as a reference cite. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:52, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
