I'd take some objection to this, my father's in the "who's who of professionals" publication (or was, im not sure if he still is, but he has the early 90's edition that first had him). He's somewhat known among managers and such, helped with the roll out of TQM in the government back in the day. Some other minor things, a couple low level "presidential" commissions to ease bureaucracy in some small division in some second tier department, but nothing approaching real notability. People who are marginally notable in a specific field can get in those books, but it doesnt mean that they are generally marginally notable. Who's who is almost on the verge of being a vanity press.

Privacy of birth dates of "less notable people" is policy.
"When in doubt about the notability of the subject, or if the subject complains about the publication of his or her date of birth, err on the side of caution and simply list the year of birth."
It is an irrelevant policy, since when a person is in a standard, mainstream reference work like Who's Who, then there is no doubt about the notability of the subject.
