Birth Date anomaly?

edit

Text says (Redacted) but the data box has no Birth Date.

Is this on purpose? And if so, what might be the explanation? And if there is one, sholdn't it be visible on the page?? Gwrede (talk) 20:28, 5 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Probably because of this:

See WP:DOB for the explanation and Wikipedia:No disclaimers for the question of making it visible. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:34, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

According to our Biographies of living persons policy, it's preferable to omit a subject's full legal name when it "has not been widely disseminated or has been intentionally concealed, such as in certain court cases or occupations". Kross has definitely objected to her legal name appearing on Wikipedia,[1] and sex workers in general seem like exactly the people whom the policy is intended to protect. The Daily News source that was cited does not mention Kross' legal name; on balance it seems to be a trivial bit of information that doesn't help the average reader understand the topic. While Wikipedia is not censored, that isn't a reason to expose subjects to real-world harassment, as Kross claims to have experienced as a result of her name being publicized here.[1]Sangdeboeuf (talk) 01:15, 10 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
