Feedback on Redundant Biography Display of Birthdate

Hi IMDb Team,

I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the biography display on IMDb profiles, specifically focusing on auto-generated biographies.

Currently, the date of birth appears both at the top of the bio section and within the first sentence of the biography text. This redundancy seems unnecessary since the birthdate is already prominently displayed at the top of the page.

Could you consider removing the birthdate from the first sentence of auto-generated biographies? It would help streamline the bio section and improve the overall user experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards

Sylvester Stallone’s IMDb page does not have an auto generated biography. On an IMDb page where the biography hasn’t been submitted, imdb auto generates one and it pulls from fields that have submitted data. Since this data (such as birth date) already appears on the IMDb page, having a biography that contains the same data is redundant. That is my point.
