DOB

Hi I was patrolling recent edits to pages and found this one. After a lot of edit warring over whether she was born in 1999, 1989 or 1990 I requested Page Protection. I found two reliable sources stating she was born in 1990. However, there are some unreliable sources that state 1989 and her z EP does have '1989' written on the cover. Although this was released years before the articles I have cited. Should we add a disclaimer, add both years or remove the year entirely? I would personally leave as is but wanted to open the forum.

She was born in 1989 she’s said it in an interview before. Stop changing others edits to 1989 because they are correct. You are not. Dashboysixbelow (talk) 17:06, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am open to being proven wrong, I am just looking at this objectively. Wikipedia needs reliable citations, especially for biographies of living persons, see WP:BLP. AussieWikiDan (talk) 17:27, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She was born in 1989. She made a tweet herself claiming she was 24 in May 2014, over six years ago. https://twitter.com/sza/status/470320294117511169

The tweet links to a post on her Tumblr https://web.archive.org/web/20150310000657/https://seeszarun.tumblr.com/post/86519308297/these-photos-span-over-about-the-last-6-years — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raf3020 (talkcontribs) 23:34, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When will her date of birth be changed? There’s multiple proof that she was born in 1989. JayOntherun (talk) 01:21, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Raf3020, thanks for that. The links are a bit ambiguous but it does cast doubt on her birth year. I think maybe the article should state both years. If there is any doubt, it should be clearly stated with biographies of living people. AussieWikiDan (talk) 02:50, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 October 2020

Birth year is incorrect. Change birth year from 1990 to 1989. Dashboysixbelow (talk) 17:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Born November 8, 1989 Dashboysixbelow (talk) 17:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Both sources listed next to the birth date give 1990. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Real date of birth: 1989. JayOntherun (talk) 23:56, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– Grammy-nominated singer with 3000+ hits per day, would appear to be a clear primary topic. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 15:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per page views, and the other entries are generally known by names other than 'SZA'.--Ortizesp (talk) 17:21, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Nohomersryan (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nomination, Ortizesp and Nohomersryan. There are only six entries at the SZA disambiguation page and it is evident that the singer-songwriter has achieved major stardom and has no competition from the other five entries. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 00:50, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seems like a no-brainer then. Trillfendi (talk) 19:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support im often wary of ascribing long term significance to pop culture topics but in this case it does seem to be primary for SZA. (t · c) buidhe 20:01, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. SZA is clearly the most notable of the multiple SZAs. Kim Leung (talk) 2:39, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Support SZA is very notable among those SZAs. -- BrandNew Jim Zhang (talk) 04:27, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
