He was a dentist, shouldn't this be mentioned? 66.182.31.11 02:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Some sources say he was 79 while other sources say he was 80, please clear up this confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.34.211 ( talk) 16:30, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Because of the discrepancy in birth dates, I asked David Wharton of the Los Angeles Times, who broke the story. He confirms 1933, age 80: "We found multiple bios with two different birthdays. Confirmed the correct one with the family." —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 17:32, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Do we know which family member is being cited? The Wyoming interview is what makes me believe age 79 currently. Lulaq ( talk) 20:33, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Public records and an interview with the individual is more reliable than an anonymous family member. What is disconcerting though is, 24 hours later, if you do a search online, you still see a dispute between these two years. At this point, I would like for us to see a primary, but verifiable, source (as opposed to a news article). How can this be so hard (for the media community, not editors)?

While they did not respond to me, and did not comment anywhere on the discrepancy, Bloomberg has now changed their article (as of 2013-02-19T05:00 UTC) to show 80. [3] —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 13:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Update: This pic of his headstone confirms the 1933 birthdate in the article. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 08:46, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

It says his 79th birthday was in 2013, it would mathematically be his 80th birthday. This is in the section regarding his personal life and death. 24.59.97.149 ( talk) 01:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
We're saying 80 now because a preponderance of news outlets are saying 80, but a significant number are still saying 79. To channel Donald Trump here, we need to see a birth certificate to resolve this. (This issue is still under investigation. Lulaq ( talk) 03:21, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
He was born in SLC. Seems notable whether he was or was not. 69.255.170.233 ( talk) 14:33, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
What is a succinct way to add a disclaimer saying some sources still cite 1934. Lulaq ( talk) 03:17, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
