Frank and John Craighead

There's a bit of an edit war going on about including Frank and John Craighead that I am not a party to. I'll point out that this is a weird case, perhaps warranting an exception to the rule that the person has to have an article about them to be included. They have both a joint article about them and a joint birthday - they were twins. I'd argue in favor of inclusion. Just my €0.02 worth. Toddst1 (talk) 03:35, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Toodst1. I am one of the parties. I probably wasn't going to pursue it further, but I do favor an exception. For anyone interested the policy is in the first paragraph of WP:BIRTHDOY, and we have made other exceptions, most notably for Wilbur and Orville Wright.

I guess that's a consensus then. I'll put back the Craigheads. Dan Bloch (talk) 21:17, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

If Kayla Sims does streams where she confirms her birthday is August 14, 1999, shouldn’t the videos be considered a reliable source. Janers0217 (talk) 06:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
