Are we here to create problems, or to create solutions? Technically speaking, we should just be citing the work of the GRG, IDL, and/or MPIDR.

In that case, there's really no need to cite additional material.

However, I don't mind census citations added if the identity has already been vetted and/or the record supports the age claim. It's a bit different if the evidence contradicts the age claim.

I think this needs to be discussed further. Remember, we've had people mis-cite census records for Andrew Hatch. Do we want to open the door to dubious original research? Of course not. The best thing to do is play the game within the rules, within the system.Ryoung122 (talk) 15:38, July 6, 2016 (UTC)
