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.

"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.
