Hollywood.com

[edit]

I noticed hollywood.com is used as the reference for the birth date and place. I'm not sure if that's a reliable source. Previous discussions don't seem to have come to a solid consensus. There is no byline in this case. nyuszika7h (talk) 11:40, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyuszika7H: I wouldn't use it, but it's the only game in town that's left. Both The New York Times and Hollywood.com get their biography data from Baseline (notice at the bottom of Hollywood.com it says the following: "MOVIE, TV, AND CELEBRITY DATA PROVIDED BY AND IS THE COPYRIGHT OF BASELINE"), and if it's from Baseline it's assumed to be legimate/a reliable source. With The New York Times's bio data now gone, we are literally left with only Hollywood.com for data like DOB's and places of birth – this was the conclusion I came to after a recent discussion at WT:FILM. (The sub-discussion there about using Internet Archive for "new article" TNYT bio data I tried once, and it was so complicated that I don't intend to even do it again!...) I've never tried AllMovie (but I don't think they have bio data...). --IJBall (contribstalk) 15:42, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
