Does anyone have an official source on what his birthday is? I'm finding a few on the internet saying June 11th, 1983, but those are Wikihow, and I doubt that's a reliable source. Someone added that it's the 10th a little while ago, but I'm not sure. For now, I'll keep June 10th but again I'm not too sure. Anyone really know when his birthday is?

We've had a number of edits from anonymous editors saying something to the effect of "I knew Josh in school, and he was not born in the year that newspapers suggest." It's hard to know what to make of that. As for nextbiography.com it does not appear to have the editorial oversight that The Globe and Mail or the London Free Press have. See
Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.

The London Free Press article doesn't actually give his birthday and it was extrapolated from a guess at his age. The globe link seems to be dead. If you you also look at Magee Secondary school alum he is listed as graduating in 1998 which would have being born in 1980. Someone did poor research and used it as fact and others started to use it for years. The internet for you.

Wikipedia credibility for you. Power trippers rather rest "facts" on some vague mention of an age in an article that has no back up source, over someone with first hand knowledge. If anything the age should be removed until a documented verified full dated source is found.

Sorry to offend. Although those that have the power to correct the error seem to be ignoring how the incorrect date was arrived at years ago, and has since been used as fact. They seem to be ignoring evidence that it is incorrect. My guess from my first hand knowledge and his twitter post his birthday is April 11, 1980. But in reality it should have never been posted to Wikipedia back in 2015 as it has been incorrectly used since. Any article staying his age since 2015 has probably used incorrect information from wiki.

Notability
how about this- notable? don't think this meets the criteria. anything about his achievements, which are limited to his only band, can be put in the Marianas Trench article. I don't think the ability to play 9 instruments makes one eligible for a personal wikipedia article. There aren't pages for each band member; what makes him special? —Preceding
