Talk:Xavier Coates

DOB
What is the justification for including this living players full DOB? This is a violation of the WP:BLP policy, specifically WP:DOB. Per WP:ONUS, there needs to be a good justification for including this bit of sensitive personal information. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 05:07, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It's in his NRL profile, so does not violate WP:DOB. Frickeg (talk) 05:35, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a common misconception that merely being on a particular site is sufficient for the DOB to be published on Wikipedia. That's not actually the case, if you read WP:DOB, it says that "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources". Emphasis mine. It is not at all clear that we should be potentially putting Coates' sensitive private information here, risking them being attacked by way of identity theft. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 05:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Same points as made elsewhere. This is a clear misreading of WP:DOB. Frickeg (talk) 06:15, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So, basically, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Let's discuss this further on the BLP noticeboard so we don't fragment the discussion. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 06:17, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
