An anonymous editor and later User:Belboza have both removed Elizabeth's Salmon's cited birth year. Both of these times I have reverted the removal, as her birth year is sourced. User:Belboza explained that he or she was removing the information at the request of Dr. Salmon herself. In a comment on de wiki, he explained this was due to privacy concerns. A request to resolve the issue directly did not elicit a response (see User talk:Belboza), probably because this is a single purpose editor. But in the interests of WP:BLP compliance, I would like to be sure Wikipedia is not overstepping its bounds here. In your opinion, can the birth year (not the birth date), be considered a BLP issue? In particular, I think WP:NPF may apply in this case. Furthermore, the cited source is the candidates own application for the position at the United Nations -- so she supplied the birth year (and so it should be correct), but this also is technically a primary source. Your opinion would be most welcome. Eniagrom (talk) 03:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
