The internets firmly believe that Felicia was born June 28th, 1979 ( http://www.google.com/search?q=felicia+day+born ). This fits with starting college at 16 in 1995, as seen in her cited college resume. Can anyone at least confirm that she was born in 1979? Bluej100 ( talk) 17:21, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
This LA Times article says Day is 34, which would make her born in 1977. -- Weazie ( talk) 20:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
I've updated her year of birth to the correct date of 1977, rather than 1979, citing U.S. Public Records Index 1950 to 1993, Volume 2 via link, I am not sure if this link is publicly accessible or not though. The previous citation for 1979 contained no link at all and was therefore not verifiable. 190.78.117.52 ( talk) 17:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Based on the above, I'm going to delete the date of birth. We simply do not have reliable sources establishing the correct date, and our efforts are amounting to WP:OR. TJRC ( talk) 01:05, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
I found two sources to corroborate the 1979 year of birth, this 2013 UPenn article that lists her as age 34 and TVGuide.com. Both sources also say that Day started college at age 16. Arbor to SJ ( talk) 05:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
She's probably lying about her age. It's not too uncommon. Writers are likely relying on her Wikipedia article or on Felicia Day herself. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 01:42, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Numerous sources (including her own book) report that she enrolled at UTexas at the age of 16. According to the University's searchable database (already cited in the article), she enrolled in the fall of 1994 and graduated "with highest honors" on December 19, 1998. 1994 - 16 = 1978. Further evidence in support of a 1978 date is a passage in her book where she relates having a breakdown in December 2006: I was twenty-eight years old [...] and if I didn't do something with my life RIGHT NOW, the totality of "Felicia Day" would add up to nothing. 2006 - 28 = 1978. DES ( talk) 23:16, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
In light of the fact that the date of birth, or rather a date of birth, keeps getting added here, I'd like to amplify my comment above ("A lot of articles outside Wikipedia have been written about Day. If none of them reliably report her date of birth, we have no business being the first ones to do so."), re-couched in terms of Wikipedia policy: "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object." WP:DOB. Neither of these is the case with respect to Day. As a matter of Wikipedia policy, not just the consensus of the editors here, the date of birth should not be added. TJRC ( talk) 20:38, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
I removed the birth date again. I don't care what was said on that podcast, there are plenty of ostensibly reliable sources (including, as I pointed out earlier, her own autobiography) that support 1977 or 1978, so unless someone shows up with her birth certificate, we can only speculate.

In the "Video Games" subsection, add Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Felicia Day's likeness appears in this title as the character Eos. This was likely from backing the Kickstarter project for Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Ian Braudaway ( talk) 22:40, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

There is a blatant WP:BLP violation at her birthdate, including false citations: The resume cite gives her full name but NO birthdate. The Alabama cite gives only a year and no specific birthdate. We cannot make unsubstantiated claims with false citations, and with a living person’s biography, uncited personal-life claims must be removed. The only thing an RS source cites is her year — nothing else.— 2604:2000:1382:C5DD:EC6E:F801:6375:C8D1 ( talk) 05:10, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

I literally just watched her say she started college at 15, but Wiki says 16 and graduated at 19…. 19-4 is 15 ;) fixa321 ( talk) 11:01, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
I went to college at 16 because I was a violinist and got a full scholarship through the music school.If there is another source to update this, let us know. Koncorde ( talk) 11:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Felicia starred in a new video game called 'Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical' in the role of Athena. Would anyone please add that to her list? Thanks. 91.25.185.26 ( talk) 12:29, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Video games should include Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure 2023. I didn't think it was a big deal but I have been asked if she returned to voice act for this game or if her character was recast. 98.246.5.178 ( talk) 04:50, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
