Category:Year of birth missing (living people)

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.

This category is appended to article pages of living individuals whose year of birth is not indicated. It must appear in all such articles alongside Category:Living people, although it is not a subcategory of Category:Living people and cannot be used instead of that category or serve as a combination of both categories.

• For individuals in Category:Possibly living people and historically recent individuals who are no longer alive, please use Category:Year of birth missing. For individuals whose period of activity occurred before the second half of the 19th century, please use (in most instances) Category:Year of birth unknown.
• This category is intended to be mutually exclusive with its parent Category:Year of birth missing as well as Category:Year of birth unknown and the three Date categories, Category:Date of birth unknown, Category:Date of birth missing (living people) and its parent Category:Date of birth missing.
• If the decade/century the individual was born is known please prefer using XXXXs/XXth-century births instead.

When the year of birth for living individuals has been researched, but the month and day remain missing, please do not use Category:Date of birth missing (living people) before ascertaining the individual's full public prominence. The privacy of marginally-notable "non-public figures" must be respected; see WP:NPF and Wikipedia:BLP#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources. Such people, even if their entire date of birth is available in a public record, should only have their year of birth given.
