I think that there must have been some mistake with this review; the sources provided in the article clearly meet the

minimum requirements for inclusion. I have therefore moved the article into Wikipedia mainspace; it is now located at Herbert Charles Tippet. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Herbert Charles Tippet, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sudbury (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Birth records

Hello. I think the angle

WP:BLPPRIMARY

is taking was that if the only source we can find for somebody's date or place of birth is an entry in the National Archives, it's not up to us to make the call on whether that's the person we're looking for. Even if we thoughtfully weigh up other biographical details that seem to match, there's always a small chance that there's a coincidence at work and it turns out to be another person with the same name, or a relative that they took the name of, or who knows what. The National Archives don't say whether a given baby went on to be famous, after all.

Alternatively, if we're quoting a reliable press source for a date of birth then we know they'll have fact-checked it to a level their editors and lawyers were happy with, and that the subject didn't subsequently ask them to retract it as incorrect.

The related policy of

WP:BLPPRIVACY

adds that if a person's exact date of birth hasn't already been widely published, they probably don't want it to be, which seems fair enough.

If that still seems crazy, you can question it at
