Birth Date
editI am aware that there has already been an RFC a few years back about this. We cannot put the exact date. However, his public Companies’ House disclosure puts his birth date as November 1984 [1] A Tree In A Box (talk) 03:06, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Please change references of "Thomas Scott" to "Thomas David Scott" as per https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/12321615/officers and https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11662641/officers. These are already cited in the article as sources. I.e.: Thomas [+David] Scott (born 1984 or 1985) is an English YouTuber and web developer... PJSans (talk) 21:33, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

In the first sentence of the Early Life section:
Change "Thomas Scott[8][9][10] was born in 1984 or 1985[8][11]..." to "Thomas Scott[8][9][10] was born in 1984..."
Here is the source https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11662641/officers
If we still cannot make this change, then simply remove the date of birth year?
