Birth date

While making a few improvements to the article, I looked into the edit history. It appears that the person keeps removing her birth date, stating that it cannot be listed without her consent. I do not think that is correct. Possibly she also complaints that it gets reinserted. Since she removes only the month and date and leaves the year right there, I think we should really concentrate on the half full glass and leave things as she wishes. I have seen others make this claim and removing also the year of birth, as they are mostly concerned about people knowing their age. This person leaves us the information we need for correct categorization; she just wants to leave her birthday to herself. Nothing wrong with a little flexibility in BLP articles!
