I would assume that he is referring to how we handle
BLP-style facts.
Consider the home address and school attended by, say twelve-year-old TV
actors [[Sullivan and Sawyer Sweeten]]. We have collectively agreed
that those facts should be suppressed, even if we could reliably verify
them.
Since when do we give home addresses of anybody, living or dead, in
our bios? One of the things that we're WP:NOT is an address book.
The only exceptions I can think of are the rare cases where the home
location is actually a historic site of some sort (like it's a
building on the register of historic places, or some significant
noteworthy event took place there and received news coverage that
noted its exact location). Thus, we can note the location of the
Dakota Apartments where John Lennon was killed, and the location of
the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia (a historic site open to the
public), but not the home locations of just anybody even if the
person is notable (their house generally isn't).
