Please advise why date of birth keep being removed? Source is reliable and other subjects who have a wiki page have their date of birth published. Why is this a special case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.232.229 (talk) 08:24, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The same OTRS ticket that's been in force for the last three years. See /Archive 1#Edit Warring never a good idea, where the OTRS ticket was initially noted, and /Archive 2#Surrey info. It would appear that you were a party to that latter discussion. —C.Fred (talk) 14:34, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To expand on the above, a request was made per

WP:BLPPRIVACY, and the request was granted. As this is not widely publicised (and are not a major public figure), we do respect privacy and data when requested. Mdann52 (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

Subject is now more widely known public figure so I'd say her DOB can be shown. How can previous decision be challenged? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.232.229 (talk) 18:47, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also when the subject actively seeks out publicity and show off her home then how can this be such a private person?http://www.wayfair.co.uk/aresidence/2015/12/29/suzannah-lipscomb/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.232.229 (talk) 19:05, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You'll note that nowhere in the piece was the street address of the house given. There weren't even exterior photos. Sounds like they're still maintaining some privacy. —C.Fred (talk) 19:23, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But subject regularly gives media interviews, so is hardly publicity adverse. Information on birthdate is also publicly available. http://www.thefamouspeople.com/briton-historians.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.216.13 (talk) 19:52, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That site fails

WP:RS. Frankly, if that's the best place you can find it, it's not widely-disseminated information and should not appear in the Wikipedia article. —C.Fred (talk) 20:02, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010030157.html - this is a reliable site so should be used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.216.13 (talk) 20:26, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That was the source that had been used before, at the time Mdann52 reviewed the request from the subject in the

Volunteer Response Team directly. —C.Fred (talk) 20:31, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

The subject married in the UK then had a blessing in France in 2017. The husband is the actor Tom Hutch. Why can this not be added to the article? The marriage is a known fact among friends and colleagues. There are plenty of articles on Wikipedia that don't have sources for every single statement written. Why is this subject any different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.214.224 (talk) 15:44, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I refer you to the previous discussion, which discusses a

WP:BLPPRIVACY request relating to this article. If the subject's marriage was not reported by reliable third party media then it shouldn't be mentioned here. This is Paul (talk) 18:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

Why no reference to Dr. Lipscomb’s appearance on Time Team? 2601:6C5:201:2690:F17A:4E45:9A26:83E2 (talk) 01:50, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you know about it, you could add it. Camomilelawn (talk) 20:39, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This part of the page seems very odd to me. There isn't any describtion of her personal life, only a vague quote, perhaps suggesting a certain sexual orientation. To me, it seems suggestive and I can't understand the motive or reasoning for including this. I suggest removing it entirely.Thewhitestboyalive1 (talk) 23:15, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
