Ranganathan's birthdate is not clear and should be omitted unless clarified explicitly by a reliable source. As I pointed out in March 2021, the previous claimed birthday we were using (27 March 1978) was not actually given in any of the sources that supposedly verified it, and an episode of The Ranganation claims that he was born on 23 March 1978. However, since then on Instagram he posted about his birthday this year being on 27 March; at this point, I removed the birthdate altogether due to the lack of an authoritative source on the matter. I have regularly encountered social media posts by celebrities about their birthdays being incorrect—I can't fully explain why, but it happens frequently. They are not a sufficient source here. — Bilorv (talk) 18:34, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what this means, but we expect readers to fix issues they notice themselves. Errors of omission are generally because no volunteer has had the time or knowledge to add the content, rather than deliberate censorship. — Bilorv (talk) 17:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
