This category is intended for the discussion pages of articles about deceased individuals, primarily from antiquity (although, in some cases, reaching into the 19th century), whose year of birth is indicated, but the month and day are lost to history and never likely to be known.
Except for specific rare circumstances (birth in a remote region where no records are/were kept) which should be elucidated within the pertinent biography, this category should not include individuals in Category:Living people, Category:Possibly living people, and historically recent individuals who are no longer alive, but whose month and day of birth are presumed to have been recorded and could be researched. All such individuals should be included in Category:Date of birth missing.
This category should also not be used for individuals whose complete vital statistics are presumed to be lost or nonexistent. Such circumstances require the use of Category:Year of birth unknown, with an appropriate explanatory note within the body of the article.
This category and Category:Date of birth missing, Category:Year of birth missing and Category:Year of birth unknown are unique and mutually exclusive.
