Since the 100 form is “Downey, Arthur T.” with no date, there is no need to change that heading nor to add a 400. We only add dates to existing NARs for persons when we need to break a conflict per LC-PCC 9.19.1.4.
Adding another 670 or two with the correct date of birth is a good thing to do.

A quick reply, Alexis.
I would add a 670 (or more than one) giving the correct birthdate, and change the 100, using the correct birth date. The present 100 can be changed to a 400 with |w nne indicating that it was an earlier valid form. I would leave in any 670s that gave the incorrect date.

Subject: [PCCLIST] NAR for Downey, Arthur T, and what to do with incorrect ECIP data
Greetings,
I am in the process of upgrading the record for Arthur T. Downey (OCLC ARN 477263, LCCN n 80096255). I see in the second 670 that there is a birthdate which is wrong. According to Lexis Public Records and Who's Who (http://search.marquiswhoswho.com/profile/100004010278), this Mr. Downey was born August 17, 1937. I also see that the DNB (via VIAF) has this incorrect birthdate as part of the 100 field (http://viaf.org/processed/DNB%7C1068984007).
My question is this: what do we do with erroneous information in an authority record's 670 field when it comes from ECIP data? Do I insert another note indicating that the ECIP data is wrong, or can I remove the erroneous information?
Thanks!
