This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.

When the year of birth for a living individual has been researched, but the month and day remain missing, please do not add "Category:Date of birth missing (living people)" to an article before ascertaining said individual's full public prominence. The privacy of marginally-notable "non-public figures" must be respected; see WP:NPF and WP:BLPPRIVACY. Such people, even if their entire date of birth is available in a public record, should have only their year of birth indicated.

This category is intended for use in biographical entries which indicate the living individual's year of birth, but not the month and day, because of lack of research, availability in a reliable source or notation in the relevant article.

• For individuals in Category:Possibly living people and historically recent individuals who are no longer alive, please use Category:Date of birth missing
• If the month, day and year are missing from an entry for a living individual, please use Category:Year of birth missing (living people).
• This category and Category:Year of birth missing (living people) are intended to be mutually exclusive.
