I realise that we have a source for his DOB, but I honestly don't see the need for it. I have removed this from the article under WP:DOB. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 07:59, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And I've put it back. It's normal to show a DOB for a BLP if it's in public domain. Schwede66 04:03, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think you need to reread WP:DOB. That is not policy at all. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 04:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is a strange, completely non-standard approach to WP:DOB, which explicitly says "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public." The DOB is in his profile on the Wellington Lions site so the second requirement there is easily met. Frickeg (talk) 05:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
