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).
