Bianca C Byrd (1977 film)?
editFilmography lists a Bianca C Byrd (1977) but there is not listing for this film on IMDb, nor can anything about this film be found on a Google search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groundrush (talk • contribs) 02:50, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Year of birth and age
editIMDB is saying that he born in 1941. Indiewire is saying that he was 78 while Variety is saying that he was 70.
Which is correct?

- IMDB is not considered a reliable source and should only be used in the External links section. Yoninah (talk) 01:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Can his IMDB page be added then? MikaelaArsenault (talk) 08:25, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. It is listed under External links. Yoninah (talk) 11:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Category Murder
editThere is a conversation about whether or not categorizing this and many other articles as murder is appropriate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings#Category:murder I welcome anyone's input.Yousef Raz (talk) 21:20, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
