How Old Is North West? Age, Birth Date, and Facts (2025)
with class ‘n24-p wp-block-paragraph’ itemprop=’description’ (max 2 sentences);
. I’ll add
. Also ensure intro p is max 2 sentences. The existing intro has 3 sentences? Let’s count: “A name that appears… are surprisingly straightforward. This article lays out… her.” That’s two sentences? Actually it’s two sentences: first “A name… straightforward.” second “This article… her.” So max 2 is okay. But gate 8b says lead paragraph max 2 sentences, good.
Snapshot block: there are 4 cards with numbers 1-4? Yes, numbers 1,2,3,4. Good.
Stats line: present after intro.
Key facts table: present.
H2s per contract: contract says must cover 5 questions: “How old is North West?”, “What is North West’s disability?”, “What happened to North West’s teeth?”, “Who is North West’s biological father?”, “What grade is North West in?” All present as H2s with possible H3s. Good.
Blockquotes: only one blockquote from Kim Kardashian. Need 2-4 from ≥2 speakers. There’s only one. Need to add another from a different speaker, but we cannot fabricate facts. Research notes provide quotes? The research notes have “Kim Kardashian posted…”. No other speaker. But we can use a paraphrase or a different quote? The gate says “2-4 blockquotes from ≥2 speakers”. If not available, we need to repair. However we can’t invent quotes. But we can check if there’s any other quote in the article? There’s no other. We might need to add a blockquote from a different source using existing citations? For example, from ELLE or Wikipedia? Those are sources, not speakers. The requirement is likely that we need quotes from people, not just sources. The only direct quote is from Kim. We could potentially use a quote from Kanye? But not provided. The research notes mention “Kanye West has had well-documented dental work” – but no quote. To satisfy, we could convert a statement from a source into a blockquote? But that would be fabrication. Better to note that we cannot meet this gate without fabricating. However, the gate says “repair per 13 gates”, so we must attempt to repair. Perhaps we can use a quote from a reliable source like “according to ELLE” as a blockquote? But that’s not a speaker. The instruction: “2-4 blockquotes from ≥2 speakers”. If we can’t, we might have to leave as is and note? But we must output repaired HTML. I think we can keep the single quote and maybe add a second blockquote from a different person using something like “Famous Birthdays states…” but that’s not a speaker. Alternatively, we could add a blockquote from the Wikipedia entry? That’s not a speaker. I’ll proceed with the existing one and ensure gate 9 is checked: if all blockquotes from same speaker, rewrite attributions to ≥2 different speakers from research. Since only one, gate 9 may require we convert the existing blockquote to a different speaker? That doesn’t make sense. Actually gate 9 says “If all blockquotes are from same speaker, rewrite attributions to ≥2 different speakers from research, or convert repeats to paraphrased prose with citations.” So we have only one blockquote from Kim. To satisfy, we need at least two blockquotes from at least two speakers. We can add a second blockquote from another speaker by using the research notes? There is no other direct quote. However, we can look at the article body: there is a quote “My little baby North turns 12 years old today.” That’s Kim. No other. Perhaps we can use the line “Kanye West has had well-documented dental work, including titanium dentures reported in 2021.” That’s a statement, not a quote. We could convert that into a blockquote attributed to a source? But that source is not a speaker. I think the requirement might be misinterpreted: “blockquotes” could also include citations from articles? Typically blockquotes are direct quotes from people. The research notes have no other. As a repair, we could add a blockquote from Kanye West using a hypothetical? Not allowed. I’ll assume this gate is not strictly enforced or we can have just one. But to be safe, I’ll add a second blockquote from a different speaker by using the “ELLE” article as a speaker? The article says “ELLE reports…” That’s not a quote. I think I’ll skip and note that it’s not possible without fabrication. However, the instructions say “Only repair per the 13 gates below.” So we must attempt. I’ll look at the FAQ: no quotes. I’ll leave as is. Gate 9 says “If all blockquotes are from same speaker, rewrite attributions to ≥2 different speakers from research, or convert repeats to paraphrased prose with citations.” Since only one blockquote, we can’t rewrite it to multiple speakers. We could convert it to paraphrased prose with citation? That would remove the blockquote. But then we would have zero blockquotes, violating gate 1. I’ll keep the blockquote and add a second blockquote from a different speaker by extracting a quote from the research notes? The research notes have a claim: “Kim Kardashian posted a public birthday tribute… ‘My little baby North turns 12 years old today.'” That’s already used. Another claim: “ELLE frames North West as a creative public figure… ‘she is so creative.'” That’s a quote from Kim? Actually ELLE reports that Kim said that. That’s still Kim. No other. I’ll proceed.
FAQ: there are 7
Gate 2: Contract coverage – the H2s are present. Need to ensure that each question from must_cover_questions appears as H2 or H3 with verbatim wording where question_source=”paa”. The questions are: “How old is North West?” (H2), “What is North West’s disability?” (H2), “What happened to North West’s teeth?” (H2), “Who is North West’s biological father?” (H2), “What grade is North West in?” (H2). All appear verbatim. Good.
Gate 3: Every
Timeline: each line has sources? The timeline has some sources (e.g., National Today, ELLE). The last item “May 2026” has Wikipedia. Good.
Confirmed facts list under “Confirmed facts vs unclear claims” has sources. Good.
Gate 4: Fact lock vs verified_facts. The verified_facts JSON is empty. So no changes.
Gate 5: FAQ dedup. Check if any FAQ item overlaps with H2/H3. For example, “How old will North West be in 2026?” is not directly in H2 but is covered in “Age projections for 2026”. That’s not exact same question. “What is North West’s star sign?” not in H2. “Does North West have an Instagram account?” not in H2. “What is North West’s net worth?” not. “Does North West have any pets?” not. “What is North West’s full name?” not. All seem distinct. So no removal. Minimum 5, we have 7.
Gate 6: Link hygiene. Internal links: “https://publicwatch.uk/tech/how-old-is-ruby-wax/” and “https://publicwatch.uk/blog/angela-rayner-net-worth/” – these are internal. Should strip target/rel. Change to just . Also ensure no duplicate external links. Check external links: National Today appears multiple times? In snapshot card 1 list, then in timeline, etc. It appears multiple times. Gate says “Each external URL at most once.” So we need to remove duplicates. For National Today, it appears in many places. We can keep the first occurrence and remove subsequent ones, or replace with “same source” or use a footnote. But the instruction: “Each external URL at most once. Max 3 per domain.” So we need to deduplicate. We’ll keep the first occurrence in the article (the intro paragraph?) Actually the first external link is in snapshot card 1: National Today. Then later in timeline, another link to same. Also in confirmed facts list, another. We’ll keep only the first occurrence and remove the rest, but we can also use a different source for the same fact. To comply, we should remove duplicate links. However, we also have to maintain citations for each claim per gate 3. This creates a conflict. We’ll need to re-cite using different domains. The rule says “Each external URL at most once. Max 3 per domain.” So for National Today, we can only use it once. For the other claims that used National Today, we can use a different source from research notes. For example, “National Today” is used for birth date. Another source for birth date is Wikipedia. So we can replace subsequent National Today links with Wikipedia. Similarly, ELLE appears multiple times, we can only use it once? It’s the same domain, so max 3 per domain? Actually max 3 per domain means we can have up to 3 links to thesame domain. But the first rule says each URL at most once. So if the same URL appears multiple times, we must dedup. If different URLs on same domain, we can have up to 3. For ELLE, the URL is the same: https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a69470643/who-is-north-west-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-daughter/ appears many times. So we need to deduplicate that exact URL. We’ll keep the first occurrence and replace others with alternative sources (e.g., Famous Birthdays for age, Wikipedia for parents, etc.). We’ll do that systematically.
Also internal links: we need to strip rel and target. So change without target and rel.
Gate 7: JSON-LD. There are two
