“X” change his birthdate to 1757 because I figured it out! If I do the math he died at 47 so 1804-1757=47 and 1804-1755=49 so, I figured it out that it’s 1757. MARSISREALLYCOOLANDLOVESHAMILTON (talk) 18:11, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Please see Alexander Hamilton#cite note-birthyear-2. The math does not matter if we cannot reliable determine what year Hamilton was born. Peaceray (talk) 20:24, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He died at either 47 or 49, @MARSISREALLYCOOLANDLOVESHAMILTON. 47 is a more popular theory, but it's not confirmed. If it was that easy to find his birth year, then believe me, we'd have known his birth year a long time ago. :) Ali Beary (talk!) 11:44, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He was born on Jan. 11 of the year of 1755 check Famousbrithday.com and google. 2603:6010:71F0:780:A8F9:C8D7:AB6B:A717 (talk) 05:51, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Both famousbirthdays.com and Google itself are considered to be unreliable sources. The claim that his birth year is unknown, however, is backed up by historians. Maybe he was born in 1755, but it is heavily debated and too difficult to say with certainty, so this will not be updated. Ali Beary (talk!) 22:55, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Sources in fact disagree as to whether he was born in 1755 or 1757. Day Creature (talk) 15:48, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
