Reference for Parkinson as birth name

It seems that Jerry has tweeted [1] that this is true. Is it OK to add a reference to this tweet? Does it meet Wikipedia:Verifiability? 192.118.27.253 (talk) 06:40, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Removing unsourced names and birthday

None of the citations in this article give Jerry Holkins actual first name as "Keith". They also do not say that his middle name is "Gerald" or that Jerry is short for Gerald. Also, none of them gave his birthday. I also couldn't find any of that stated elsewhere, except in websites that scrape Wikipedia and a few other wikis that look like they've copied this article.

As this is a biography of a living person, all information must be sourced. Therefore I've removed all the above statements from the article. If anyone knows of a source of any sort, please add it in, but otherwise, don't add it back.

I've kept the statement that his original last name was Parkinson. This is supported by two sources, though both are primary sources and so I've made the language clear of this. HenryCrun15 (talk) 01:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Certain references to their children

Recently, one of their children was revealed to no longer identify as their birth gender. As pointed out by @CodeTalker, according to and WP:TWITTER the only citation that can be provided is of one that is from the person themselves, not a parent of the person. But, as @Scorpions13256 has pointed out, it seems wrong to leave a person's deadname in the article. @CodeTalker further pointed out that WP:BLPNAME would suggest removing the names of their children entirely. Discussion as to what the appropriate thing to do is necessary. aaronneallucas (talk) 20:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
