In his article it is written Walter Mercado was born in 1932. Igor Skoglund.

The linked article has no indication of March 9 for Greg of Nyssa. What is the source for it? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:43, 9 March 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You would have to comb through the page history to find out who added it in the first place and ask her/him. I recommend to be be bold and remove it. Lectonar (talk) 14:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
