Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
This category is appended to article pages of living individuals whose year of birth is not indicated. It must appear in all such articles alongside Category:Living people, although it is not a subcategory of Category:Living people and cannot be used instead of that category or serve as a combination of both categories.
- For individuals in Category:Possibly living people and historically recent individuals who are no longer alive, please use Category:Year of birth missing. For individuals whose period of activity occurred before the second half of the 19th century, please use (in most instances) Category:Year of birth unknown.
- This category is intended to be mutually exclusive with its parent Category:Year of birth missing as well as Category:Year of birth unknown and the three Date categories, Category:Date of birth unknown, Category:Date of birth missing (living people) and its parent Category:Date of birth missing.
- If the decade/century the individual was born is known please prefer using XXXXs/XXth-century births instead.
| When the year of birth for living individuals has been researched, but the month and day remain missing, please do not use Category:Date of birth missing (living people) before ascertaining the individual's full public prominence. The privacy of marginally-notable "non-public figures" must be respected; see WP:NPF and Wikipedia:BLP#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources. Such people, even if their entire date of birth is available in a public record, should only have their year of birth given. |

Famous quotes containing the words year, birth and/or missing:
“The phenomena of the year take place every day in a pond on a small scale. Every morning, generally speaking, the shallow water is being warmed more rapidly than the deep, though it may not be made so warm after all, and every evening it is being cooled more rapidly until the morning. The day is an epitome of the year. The night is the winter, the morning and evening are the spring and fall, and the noon is the summer. The cracking and booming of the ice indicate a change of temperature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man’s first beginning.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It’s a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
