Personal life

I am seeking an update to Personal life on behalf of BP. Bernard Looney is no longer married. There are no independent press sources that confirm this, but I am asking if Misplaced Pages editors can revise Personal life to simply say: "Looney lives in central London, England." There is actually very little sourcing on his marriage in the first place. It is briefly mentioned in the "CV" section of the source that is used in the live article. This detail has not received significant attention.

As BP's representative on Misplaced Pages, I do not directly edit articles relating to the company. Would someone be willing to review this request and correct Personal life? Thanks for taking the time to consider this. Arturo at BP (talk) 16:13, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Arturo at BP. As I was the one who added it, I do not see any real issue in removing it, and have done so. Once Looney takes over as CEO, there will no doubt be more articles in reliable sources that we can make use of. Edwardx (talk) 18:38, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the article, Edwardx. Arturo at BP (talk) 20:12, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Year of birth

I am seeking another update on behalf of BP.

Infobox and introduction
The introduction and infobox display Bernard Looney's year of birth as "1969/1970". I have confirmed that Mr. Looney was born on Sept. 5, 1970. There are no sources that explicitly state this, but I am asking if Misplaced Pages editors can revise so the detail is more definitive.

Arturo at BP Sorry, but we cannot add the full birthdate per WP:BLPSOURCES and WP:BLPPRIMARY. If someone was to add it to a biography page or similar at the BP website, then we could use it. Edwardx (talk) 16:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

References

Thanks for clarifying that, Edwardx. I wonder then if the birth year range could be removed from the introduction since it is not specific? Or is it possible to use this Companies House link to confirm Mr. Looney was born in 1970. If this source is appropriate, could you correct the year, Edwardx?
