Ambiguity on date of birth

edit

Sources seem to vary between 10 Sep 1946 and 10 Sep 1949 for Tchiroma's date of birth. For convenience, here are the current templates and sources in the lead:

born 10 September 1946<ref name="Wathi_IssaTchiroma_candidate">{{cite Q|Q136547001|trans-title=Issa Tchiroma, candidate of the Front for the National Salvation of Cameroon}}</ref> or {{birth based on age as of date|75|2025|06|26|noage=yes|slash=yes}}<ref name="BBC_ally_CM_president">{{Cite web|first1=Natasha|last1=Booty|first2=Nicolas|last2=Négoce|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3w41yqjnqno|title=Ally of Cameroon president, 92, quits 'broken' government to challenge him|work=BBC News|date=26 June 2025|archive-url=https://archive.today/2025.10.21-103846/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3w41yqjnqno|archive-date=2025-10-21|url-status=live}}</ref>

which renders as

born 10 September 1946[1] or 1949/1950[2].

The biggest difficulty is assessing which sources are the most reliable, since most local sources are not (yet) well-enough known in Wikipedia to have Wikipedia entries or debates at WP:RSP on their reliability. Boud (talk) 10:59, 21 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
