I am really not convinced we should be publishing such details period - we don't do it in cases where the person doesn't object, and if they get added we generally remove them as veering over the line towards advertising.
(3) A non-absolute presumption against publishing articles on minors. By "non-absolute" I mean that this should be interpreted as one factor but not the only factor in determining whether an article should be published.
Incidentally, this person is not a minor - it's one of the details that makes the case more interesting, because we can't fall back on that as a cop-out to avoid facing the more fundamental questions...
...which are, can we really claim to write biographical articles about obscure non-public individuals with a passing and tenuous claim to fame?
