In Progress

Missing Information of a Deceased Actor Brian McCardie

Hi, Prior to his death, the late actor Brian McCardie seemingly had chosen to remove his age, and his birth year still hasn't been made public on IMDb despite his death last year. Why is this still a recurring issue? I mean, once the person dies, isn't every available information supposed to be made public by default? In such a case, if by default the missing year of birth reverts to being listed, this issue can be avoided directly.

Hi Maya, Thank you for your information, though it seems there's been no response so far. Additionally, now Brad Everett Young is missing the birth year despite his death.

@Maya- Hi, thank you for your information. This is just in, sadly Kimberly Hébert Gregory has passed, and her year of birth is missing on her page. To the best of your knowledge, is there any discussion or potential adjustment implemented in near future for this recurring issue? Have you communicated my earlier feedback to the relevant team?

Hi Fran,

The page was claimed prior to his death, and he or maybe one of his representatives had chosen to hide the year, so now it needs manual unlocking by the staff. It was supposed to be done as soon as he passed away.
