Birth
editThis article has Phelan born in 1948, which would explain the age 71 being published by some sources. WWGB (talk) 03:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Since that is the only article that writes exact birth date I think we should stick to 1948 and 71.DrKilleMoff (talk) 09:42, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- I think a lot of Australian editors would have difficulty accepting The Australian Women's Weekly as a reliable source! WWGB (talk) 09:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Ironically the AWW article is about how Wikipedia had the wrong birth date so McInerney assumed Phelan was not her mother. --Canley (talk) 11:13, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
I've roamed the 'net and found both ages mentioned. In a couple of places, the article's title mentions one age while the article itself mentions the other age!
So far, the mentions of her age as 75 slightly outnumber those that mention 71. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 11:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- The more reliable publications have mostly stated her age as 75. Also, despite one editor's apparently incorrect claim about an MEAA tweet, I cannot find any reliable source about her death published before October 28th. Therefore I have restored the 28th as the announcement date. Yahboo (talk) 04:25, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- I have now found an apparently accurate reference stating her death as the 27th. Yahboo (talk) 05:56, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
@WWGB Here's a surprising fact. A women's magazine interviewing two women (a mother and daughter) about their reunion. A publication that is eighty-six years old would not have survived that long without credibility. What would be their motivation in lying about her age . . . to prove Wikipedia was wrong. Get a grip! Sexism is alive and well in Wikipedia land, it seems. Editrite! (talk) 21:26, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- ”Get a grip” indeed. It’s obvious what you have been “gripping”. WWGB (talk) 23:11, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
The bottom line here is that it's a reliable and reputable source, unless someone can prove otherwise. By the way, the only thing I'm gripping is reality. You should try it sometime. Editrite! (talk) 09:38, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- What is the consensus on us using this as a source for a full date of birth: http://oa.anu.edu.au/obituary/phelan-anne-mary-annie-29957 ? Crisso (talk) 12:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Read the link in the first post above at the top, if you haven't done so. The late actress' daughter has publicly refuted that birthdate. Editrite! (talk) 00:17, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
