Agreed. However, if the birthdate is already public information, I
see no point in censoring Wikipedia about it. Verifiability works
quite well in this regard; if it's already in reliable source
material, then the cat is out of the bag and deleting it from
Wikipedia serves no practical good.
I think the instances where we have a reliable source for someone's
exact birthdate are very low, however.
