Rv of exact birth date

Pbrks – you recently reverted the addition of his exact birth date with reference to WP:DOB, but this policy states that Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public. I'm afraid I don't immediately see how this second criterion isn't fulfilled by the tweet that was linked in the edit summary, unless BLP standards are much higher in this context than I believe them to be and would require the subject to explicitly state that they don't object to the date being public (in which case the sentence cited above could probably use some rewording).

@AngryHarpy: Assuming the DOB he gave it correct, it's apparent that he does not oppose to his DOB being public. The general issue I had here is whether or not to list a DOB as a fact solely based on a primary source, in the same way that if he tweeted, "I am 5 foot 4," we could not include that as a fact. However, upon reflection, I believe there's no reasonable doubt to its authenticity, considering the March 2000 date has been published by reliable sources. Pbrks (talk) 14:41, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I mean I'm pretty sure the main OWL broadcast used to almost literally count the days to his 18th birthday back in season one, so we're probably in the clear. AngryHarpy‍^talk 14:56, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
