DOB in lead[edit]

Hi GoodDay, seems like we need to touch base about the repeated DOB removals. MOS:BIO clearly indicates that DOB should be in the lead, and it's standard that material in lead would be repeated elsewhere, as the purpose of the lead is to summarize the entry. Can you help me understand? Thanks much. Innisfree987 (talk) 05:47, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The intro & the beginning of the next section, shouldn't be identical. GoodDay (talk) 05:48, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't seem to me that the fact of including her birth year in both makes them identical: one gives the broadest possible overview of her life and career, the other gives a much more detailed sentence about her early childhood. Innisfree987 (talk) 05:53, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly no need to repeat her entire name. GoodDay (talk) 06:06, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, especially at this length I can live without it. Good compromise. Thanks for your replies. Innisfree987 (talk) 06:17, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
