This funeral home site lists Sibley's birth date as being September 1, 1994, but I'm not fully sure if this would be considered reliable enough for Wikipedia. Opinions? B3251 (talk) 23:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is. Presumably provided by family or death certificate. WWGB (talk) 05:32, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Added. B3251 (talk) 17:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Out of respect for O’Shae Sibley, I suggest the tile be changed to remove “Killing of”. I realize why those words are there but I think he should be known for more than someone who was killed. Armenknight (talk) 06:04, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was the killing that was notable, not Sibley. WWGB (talk) 06:26, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work. I prefer ALT1, as the grammar of ALT0 feels somewhat awkward to me. Epicgenius (talk) 14:51, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
