Rikster2 WP:DOB which is part of the policy page WP:BLP says Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public
. In the absence of a citation to a reliable source, such wide publication cannot be presumed. I routinely remove exact birth dates, trimming them to the year alone, in any BLP article, unless they are cited inline to a reliable source indicating that the date has already been widely published, or published by the subject. Moreover, it is my view that in most cases exact birth dates are not encyclopedic, but are mere trivia. The year of birth is in most cases sufficient to give context to a biographical article, the exact date is rarely of much importance, and is better omitted even if it can be sourced. This latter view does not have clear consensus, but requiring a cie for DOBs seems to have.
Please consider this a challenge to an unsourced fact in a BLP. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 23:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Preserve appropriate content.I am not convinced that an exact birth date is appropriate content in the fist place. What actual value does it have? Well this is not the right place to debate the general policy. The date here has been cited and seems to have been widely published, so I have no further objections to it in this article. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 01:08, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source and the material therefore may not be verifiable.Which is why I asked if you were skeptical that sources you found were reliable. However, you said you didn't look for a source, and generally don't in these cases, and that you don't agree with the widely followed practice at MOS of specifying DOBs. While it's OK if you start a new bio and choose not to include a DOB, it's another thing to remove existing DOBs that are widely published and verifiable, merely because it's uncited.—Bagumba (talk) 04:53, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
For living persons, privacy should be considered (see WP:BLPPRIVACY, which takes precedence).Many of the various specific versions of ((Infobox person)) instruct that for a BLP ((Birth year and age)) should be used instead of ((Birth date and age)) All of which I take to mean that there is not a consensus to include the exact date for BLPs unless there is evidence that the date is widely published (not just verifiable) or else distributed by the subject or with the subject's consent. Such evidence should either be a citation, or talk page discussion. It may be that in this case the removal was an error on my part, but most cases where an uncited exact date of birth is included do not turn out that the date had been widely published. The general principle holds, IMO. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 05:15, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

can you please make changes under the "rap career" title, add "on 9th August, 2019" after "Lillard released his third album, Big DOLLA" since it would be more clear of a timeline for the readers to know the release date of the album. here is the source for this http://onsmash.com/music/damian-lillard-big-dolla-tracklist-release-date/ Also can you add "Although Lillard will be missing the all star game and 3 point contest, he will still step up to the stage and deliver a rap performance on Saturday night in Chicago as part of the All-Star festivities." at the end of the second paragraph under "rap career" tittle. source for this: https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/2020/02/damian-lillard-will-rap-at-nba-all-star-weekend-as-planned-despite-injury-report.html
appreciated if this change is made!! Lannyperm (talk) 13:22, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
I did the first edit that you requested, but as for the second one, it says "...and deliver a rap performance on Saturday night...". That is not quite the tone of an encyclopedia and I didn't feel comfortable doing it. DarthFlappy (talk) 00:40, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

The city listed for his freshman year is incorrect as he attended Arroyo High School in San Lorenzo and not in El Monte. The article used in the citation doesn't list the city but this article with Coach Lippi specifies the city, albeit he lists it as San Leandro.

NBA Bubble MVP (2020) NBA All-Bubble First Team (2020) Ericjcross4 (talk) 19:48, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
On the NBA website, NBA Bubble MVP and All-NBA Bubble First Team are official awards. So can we get that put into Dame’s Awards section please? Can we also get info on Dames music in NBA2K21.

(Suggested addition under PERSONAL LIFE)
On October 1st 2020, Lillard announced that he had purchased a Toyota dealership in the city of McMinnville, OR just outside Portland. The dealership was purchased with longtime friend and industry veteran, Brian Sanders and was subsequently renamed Damian Lillard Toyota. On the same day, McMinnville Mayor Scott Hill declared October 1st officially Damian Lillard Day to recognize Lillard's contributions to the city and to the State of Oregon.

In June 2023 Lillard expanded his business activities with his first start-up investment in sneaker platform in Kicks Crew.[1] He announced the investment and a partnership to expand his youth activities in Asia, the first of which saw him coach high school students in gyms across lower-income areas of Hong Kong's Kowloon district.
