Year of Birth Missing (living People)

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:

    “No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “Teenage girls are extremists who see the world in black-and- white terms, missing shades of gray. Life is either marvelous or not worth living. School is either pure torment or is going fantastically. Other people are either great or horrible, and they themselves are wonderful or pathetic failures. One day a girl will refer to herself as “the goddess of social life” and the next day she’ll regret that she’s the “ultimate in nerdosity.””
    —Mary Pipher (20th century)
