In a Federal Court Affidavit dated 27 May 2024, Moira Deeming gives her date-of-birth as 1983. A copy of the Affidavit is accessible online. I note that the Wikipedia article on Moira Deeming is semi-protected, and I'm not sure how to include this information. Research17 (talk) 19:04, 22 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Do we have a secondary source covering her DOB? Per WP:BLPPRIMARY we shouldn’t use trial transcripts or other court documents to establish facts in BLPs and should exercise extreme caution with the use of other primary sources in BLPs. TarnishedPath^talk 01:07, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's more a case of WP:BLPSELFPUB. I thought I was using it judiciously, just for year and town of birth. I think we generally accept people saying on Twitter "it's my birthday", and this struck me as a similar situation. StAnselm (talk) 02:21, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@StAnselm I've started a discussion at WP:BLP/N to get community input as I'd like to know which part of the WP:BLP policy takes precedence.

WP:DOB It seems to me that we need to consider: 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. An affidavit in court is not "widely published" nor can it "reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public". Schazjmd (talk) 14:54, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would have thought absolutely that could be reasonably inferred. It's making certain details public. StAnselm (talk) 15:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily voluntarily. Being compelled to say something under oath, for example. Schazjmd (talk) 15:24, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read the filing? StAnselm (talk) 15:33, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with Schazjmd, being in a court document doesn't make the birth date 'widely' published, and I don't think this is the type of thing that was envisioned by SELFPUB. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 15:20, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
