Bianca C Byrd (1977 film)?

[edit]

Filmography lists a Bianca C Byrd (1977) but there is not listing for this film on IMDb, nor can anything about this film be found on a Google search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groundrush (talkcontribs) 02:50, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Year of birth and age

[edit]

IMDB is saying that he born in 1941. Indiewire is saying that he was 78 while Variety is saying that he was 70.

Which is correct?

IMDB is not considered a reliable source and should only be used in the External links section. Yoninah (talk) 01:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can his IMDB page be added then? MikaelaArsenault (talk) 08:25, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It is listed under External links. Yoninah (talk) 11:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There is a conversation about whether or not categorizing this and many other articles as murder is appropriate. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings#Category:murder I welcome anyone's input.Yousef Raz (talk) 21:20, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
