Birthdate source
@
citogenesis. His Twitter profile ([2]) does say "Born January 26" (fourth line of the bio, next to "Ireland" and "Joined May 2011"), and the IrishCentral article ([3]) says he was 29 as of January 19, 2011, which supports him being born in 1981. I'm happy to discuss if you disagree about the sources! Aerin17 (t • c) 01:14, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

If you rather use a
WP:BLP rather than a newspaper, then so be it. I'm not going to argue about it. They all support the same date. MikeAllen 01:24, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

It is his own verified Twitter account, which is explicitly permitted per
WP:ABOUTSELF and probably a better source about his own birthday than a local newspaper. I'm going to go ahead and change it back, if you don't feel that strongly (and, yeah, it doesn't matter that much). Aerin17 (t • c) 01:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply
