(it looks like these are handled by Michelle)

these also show how IMDb keeps accepting birthdays with invalid & bad sources, some of these links do not even contain any birthday info, which means editors probably approve things without even checking the links most of the time.

I'm considering the possibility that some of these are vandalized profiles. Regardless, the IMDb data editors should be ashamed of this situation, unless there is some kind of mechanism in place that automatically approves some submissions that have even been reviewed by a human being.

Hi @mbmb -

Thanks for reporting.  Upon investigating, I can see that there is a technical bug causing this data issue and there is a ticket (#V873775980) filed to the appropriate team to fix and identify the root cause.

In the meantime, I will work through the second set of bio pages you reported and will update you once those have been reviewed and corrected.
