This source is inappropriate per WP:BLPPRIMARY and WP:BLPPRIVACY. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 188#Ancestry.com this discussion at WP:RSN, which explains why this site is not a good source, especially this part of the discussion (findmypast is specifically mentioned in that discussion). Just because a site shows that someone with a given name was born on a given date, doesn't mean it's the same person. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened on Wikipedia by any means. The source is, at best, an assumption, which for a biographical article is unacceptable. Also, just because an admin added something doesn't mean it's infallible. Per WP:BLP: "We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources." If the best we can do is this site, it doesn't need to be included at all. - Aoidh (talk) 01:38, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
