Bolded properties are considered core if the information is available. All others are optional according to cataloger's judgment and what else is known about the person.
Asterisked (*) properties generally should have at least one reference to justify the statement. Double-asterisked (**) properties generally do not need a reference, but include one if you judge it to be helpful to support the statement you are making.

Property Value Qualifiers if applicable Usage Note
Label Generally the RDA form of preferred name in direct order
Description "observational cosmologist", "ecology professor", "American poet", "Chinese physicist"

date of birth (P569) * if date is approximate:
include qualifier sourcing circumstances (P1480), which used for qualification of the truth or accuracy of a source. Values can include: circa (Q5727902), near (Q21818619), presumably (Q18122778), etc.

if you need to refine a date, use the qualifier refine date (P4241); for example to say someone was born in the fall of 1956, use 1956 as the date of birth and add qualifier refine date (P4241) with value autumn (Q1314)
date of death (P570) * if date is approximate:
include qualifier sourcing circumstances (P1480), which is used for qualification of the truth or accuracy of a source. Values can include: circa (Q5727902), near (Q21818619), presumably (Q18122778), etc.

if you need to refine a date, use the qualifier refine date (P4241); for example to say someone died in the fall of 1956, use 1956 as the date of death and add qualifier refine date (P4241) with value autumn (Q1314)

Also include other values based on field of work, such as "chemist", "wood chemist", "political scientist", "Indologist", "civil engineer", "medical researcher", "violinist", etc. Replace items that just say "researcher" with more specific occupations. Create new items for occupation if needed.
Consider "professor" to be a title, not an occupation.

Another simple way is go to the YouTube site from the username URL and click a video of the channel (in its "VIDEOS" tab) and click the channel name on the video. That will take you to the page with its "channel" URL.
