It seems there are at least 3 Teddy Wilsons credited in my local.  I easily found a birth year for the jazz pianist, with multiple sites.  So far so good.  But the other Teddy Wilson, all I've got is IMDB, which I think isn't sufficient documentation.    Then there's the credit for a Teddy Wilson in Bottle Rocket which is the only credit IMDB lists for that Teddy Wilson.  I know it isn't the other two, since the film was made after both of the others died. 

Should I submit the birth year for the jazz pianist Wilson?  It was accepted once, but apparently kicked out by the recent purging.  Should I submit it and the second Wilson birth year, even though I've only got IMDB as source?  Should I just keep this whole thing local and not worry about it for the online?

I would certainly submit birth years for both the 1912 jazz pianist and the 1943 actor. There are plenty of other sources for that last one, too:

- http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=8513735
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Wilson
- http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/246570

You could add all that to the "List of Accepted Birth Years with Documentation"-thread, too.

The 'Bottle Rocket' one does pose a problem - he'll have to get a fake, local-only BY...
