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?
