Baldwin Brothers

Question

So I was adding PT Barnum to my Notable relations page and found that the Baldwin brothers (Alec, Billy, Daniel, and Stephen) were all in red. Did they somehow get deleted?

Just curious! :)

Thanks! :-) Started it after I realized I didn’t want my profile going on forever. :-)

Their dad is there with private wife and kids.

Answer 1

They are living, so they are probably now unlisted, which should break links.

I have tons of other living notables on there but the links aren't broken. :/

Now looking at your page, which is super cool, I see that there are other living people who are now unlisted, making their profiles invisible.  It just says Living Schreiber, for example.  I think perhaps the profile owner(s) deleted the profiles somehow.  I didn't think profiles could be deleted, but you are right, they are gone.

Yeah really weird!

Answer 2

This may be an existentialist question. It seems apparent to me that they may have ceased to exist somehow. If you can't see them, are they really there? You can't confirm their existence on WikiTree while they are alive. They will eventually exist again, but only after they're deceased. Catch-22?
