English

Have any native English speakers actually edited this article yet? There are words missing and everything. It's a bit un-encyclopedic in its wording and you really need a source for each occurrence otherwise anyone could write anything. Mglovesfun 00:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I went through the article and sourced each occurrence independently (actually, now that I consider it, I probably went a bit overboard). I also removed accounts which were erroneous, non-notable, or unverifiable. -Severa (!!!) 16:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Chrnological ordering

It seems neater to have the births in chronological order under each type: I'm going to go ahead and start doing that, I hope no one minds! AniBunny 19:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry to undo some of your work, but I just noticed that an anonymous editor made a number of edits in September, and that these negatively impacted the readability of the article by transforming complete sentences into lists of names and also by removing a number of relevant wikilinks. I felt that the only solution was to mass revert to an earlier version rather than to try to sort it out all over again (I cleaned and sourced this article up from top to bottom a few months ago). Feel free to continue chronologizing the entries! Thanks! -Severa (!!!) 19:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Looking over the diffs, it is apparent that the entries were originally in chronological order, but that this order was thrown off by the anon's edits. There doesn't seem to be a need for you to remedy the entry ordering any longer. Thanks for helping to call attention to this issue. -Severa (!!!) 19:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

A few sets of triplets

I've just done a cleanup on the list of twins and found two sets of triplets mentioned there but not mentioned here. I didn't want to add them here without sourcing them, but the two articles are Garrett, Spencer and Mitchell Gray and Alexandria, McKenzie and Megan Calabrese. It's up to you what you do with this information :) ^anemone│_projectors 01:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Sources?

I couldn't find any reference for the alleged Danes triples+quintuplets. This would seem remarkable, but there's no citation and I couldn't find anything online, so I doubt the veracity. I put in fact tags; hopefully someone can provide a reference, or I'll come back later and remove them. Zander (talk) 02:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

40 Grand

I removed the statement htat a lady in toronto had 40,000 babies of the period of 18 years. I beleive it to be false, plain and simple lies —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.21.35 (talk) 12:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Just checked back on this. It's obviously untrue, but funny!

Quote: In Toronto, Ontario Canada from 1982 to 1990, a 16 year old teenage girl gave birth to 40,000 babies, 26,735 boys and 13,265 girls. It took eight years to give birth to all of those babie's and when her last one was born, she was 24 years old. All of them died and the mother died after her last child was born. Serveal nurses at the hospital quit over the years because they got tired of hearing the girl's screaming of pain--82.0.207.86 (talk) 21:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

JW blood transfusion

I definitely oppose the statement (blatantly prejudiced, by the way) that Jehovah's Witness parents in Canada refusing to accept a blood transfusion was the cause of the death of two of their sextuplets. It seems to me that the very high mortality rate among children of higher order multiple births would explain the deaths more feasibly than the refusal of a blood transfusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.237.183.13 (talk) 05:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Triplets

While triplets are relatively rare, they are definitely not rare enough for us to mention every single case (I myself knew a set in school). As such, I've removed the cases without a reason for notability. [1] Personally I'd like to trim it more (e.g. the Chapmann triplets) but I'll let it be for now. Nil Einne (talk) 09:31, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I trimmed a few more as well as some of the unsourced quads, and quads with no claim to notability or distinguishing characteristic. For reference, about 100 sets of quads are born every year in the US, so there needs to be a reason to list beyond that. Probably still more can come out of the triplets and quads lists. --Minderbinder (talk) 18:08, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Qahtani septuplets

After an extensive online search, I found one reference to the Qahtani septuplets that said one of the babies had died a few months after birth. I added this.

split off triplets

List of triplets

I believe that the triplets list should be split off, since there are quite alot of triplets in the world, and we have Category:Triplets, so this would be analogous to List of twins and Category:Twins. 76.66.193.90 (talk) 07:28, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd disagree. It really should take a lot for a set of triplets to be notable since they are so common and I think that splitting them would just encourage people to make the list longer and more full of sets that aren't notable. Keep it here and just pare it down. --Minderbinder (talk) 18:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Use

There is one exceptional reason not to create a separate article

1.There are not that many triplets to record.

What would be the use to create an article that would not really expand to much over time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bookluvr107 (talk) 18:45, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Unreported but remarkable quadruplets

In May 1989, at Mugonero Hospital, Kibuye Prefecture, Rwanda, a set of quadruplets were born, which for a while we thought would be a world record birthweight for quads. The doctor and I (hospital CEO) carefully weighed all 4 babies, and the combined birthweight was 9.77kg. This was 10 grams heavier than the record in the 1975 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, so we submitted it with documentation, photographs etc to the Guinness Book. However, in the interim, a heavier birthweight had been recorded in Japan (according to the response they sent me). Even more unusual was that the quads consisted on identical triplet boys with a fraternal girl as the fourth. This was the first set of quads known to have survived in Rwanda, and local media had picked up the story. I have photos still; the mother's name was Kabanyana Belie. While not a world record weight, it would almost certainly have been the heaviest quad birthweight recorded in Africa. Possibly Guinness Book might still have the data on file. A google search for terms "quadruplets Rwanda Mugonero" throws up several archived references, notably from Adventist online news-sites (the hospital was Adventist-owned). One of these (Adventist Review, 23 Aug 1990, p20) indicates the quads were still alive at least a year later (including a photo). An article with photo reporting the birth was part of a larger church article in Record (aka South Pacific Record) 19 Aug 1989, p10. Both these are online. I would suggest this be inserted - both as including the African continent, and for their remarkable birth-weight. Ptilinopus (talk) 13:04, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Inclusion criteria for this article

This article seems to have degenerated into a list of any multiple births any user feels like including. It should be restricted to those who have their own article indicating that they have some notability (e.g first, heaviest, oldest etc) other than just being a multiple birth. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 02:55, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

The first step to resolve this will be to remove all entries with neither an article or a citation or any claim to notability. Entries without article or citation will be moved to the talk page until someone creates an article that survives Afd for them, then the entry can go back in. I'll probably get onto this some time in the next week. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 03:38, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I think any multiple birth over quadruplets should be included. It is very rare, especially for something like sextuplets and higher. Mass removing entries is unethical, unnecessary, and constitutes vandalism and whitewashing of the encyclopedia, which goes against Wikipedia's policies. WTF? (talk) 23:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

It is not "very rare", even sextuplets are becoming more common. The lede of this article say "notable births and pregancies". As far as wikipedia policy goes notability means notable enough to have an article. Wiki is WP:NOTNEWS, which is what adding a report of a multiple birth with no other claim to notability is doing. Septuplets and above have a good chance of being notable in their own right at birth (at least, if they all survive), i.e. some sort of "first...". Sextuplets and under are no longer notable merely by being born, something else is required which is more likely to happen as they grow older. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 00:12, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I believe that you're misinterpreting the policy. Things can be "notable" enough to warrant a mention in a list, and there are lots of examples of this on wikipedia, while at the same time not meeting the notability requirements for having an article. So I think you're going way out of line here in deleting things from this page. WTF? (talk) 15:24, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

The lede specific states that this is a list of "notable" multiple births, not merely a list of multiple births. The former requires that entries in the list have a claim to notability other than merely existing, the latter requires nothing apart from existence. Clearly the latter would not only be far from complete but would become impossibly large relatively quickly. As wikipedia is not merely a collection of trivia. As per Wikipedia:LSC

Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia. Red-linked entries are acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the listed group, and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future.

That is why those entries without the reasonable expectation of having their own article have been moved to the talk page. If they get their own article then they can go back on the main page, as can any other multiple birth with an article. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 19:05, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I completely agree with removing the unnotable entries, but I'd suggest adding an "introductory" info sentence to each category where we don't list every birth known, so people aren't tempted to re-add them. If information on the occurrence rate of each multiple birth category is available, this could also be included. I suppose septuplets and higher are so rare that we currently list all instances?--Roentgenium111 (talk) 21:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Quindecaplets (15)

The pregnancy term 'quindecaplets' implies a multiple birth of 15 babies. One case of quindecaplets was registered in Italy, on July 22, 1971. A woman was pregnant with 15 children, including 10 girls and 5 boys, as a result of taking fertility drugs. Doctors had to extract all the fetuses from the woman's womb to keep her healthy. An Argentinean woman was pregnant with the highest number of babies conceived in the natural way, without taking any fertility drugs. She had 12 fetuses, but the woman lost the pregnancy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AsparagusTips (talk • contribs) 18:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Quite correct, but this article is about births not pregnancies. There is probably an appropriate article for this information somewhere. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 22:15, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Removed entries

These entries have been removed from the main article because they either have no article and no citation, or a citation which is now a dead link or is not WP:RS, or have no/insufficient notability. They should not be added back unless/until they have an article and an indication of why they are notable.
