50th Birthday

Hawkins again spent part of 1 March thanking fans on Twitter, for greetings on his birthday that day; his 50th. For example:

So why can we not put the well-referenced (see archives), self-declared birth-date of this public figure, in the article about him? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:17, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Twitter is not a reliable source, is there something better than that in the archives? Beeblebrox (talk) 17:49, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

No, there is nothing more than Twitter. This case has been discussed at WP:BLPN., and every year since 2010 on this talkpage. The consensus is always that per BLP, given the poor sourcing and the subject's objections, the day and month should not be included. --Slp1 (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
