This was originally a section in the article, but is both 1. outdated and possibly mildly inaccurate and 2. not super relevant or informative for a reader. It is, however, a very quick justification of this article's notability, so I'm moving it to here as a resource. signed, Rosguill talk 06:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that you were trying to blank/delete this article on the basis that "the birthplace and other factual matters", and that " the subject of this biography prefers not to have ..." (missed the end section, but I presume it means that the subject prefers not to have an article on him). In response to this:
I have updated the article to show that the subject is a U.S. citizen (I have a reference on that), and that he was born in 1970 (I can reference that), but I cannot find a reference to his exact birth date (maybe there was one but I cannot reference it). Hope this helps. Britishfinance ( talk) 14:38, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Dear Britishfinance, Thank you for creating this Wikipedia page - I appreciate your work on tax havens and related topics. However, I wanted to raise an issue regarding this page. It includes three citations to newspaper articles (footnotes 1, 2 and 3) about a crime in which the subject was the victim. This crime is of no relevance to the theme of the article, and publicizing it widely may create a safety and security issue for the subject. In addition, some of the inferences about birthplace, birthdate and other matters made from these newspaper articles are incorrect. Can I ask that you edit the page (very slightly) to delete footnotes 1, 2 and 3 and the inferences (birthplace, birth year etc.) that rely on these sources? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dharmap1 ( talk • contribs) 20:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
I happen to be a member of the volunteer response team aka WP:OTRS, though I haven't been involved in the OTRS side of this issue. I'm not sure what OTRS is expected to do here. It's not an editorial board or a group of "super editors" whose decisions carry more weight than those of "regular" editors. As far as I can tell, there's no private information involved that OTRS volunteers might review without it being put on Wikipedia; the information based on the sources asked to be removed is not itself being challenged (if, say, the birthdate were disputed, the article subject could provide proof via OTRS and the volunteers could provide a statement here that says something along the lines of "Dharmapala sent us an image of state-issued ID that shows a birthdate that differs from what the sources report" - but as far as I can tell, that's not the issue here). What reliable sources to use in a BLP and how to weigh the information they provide against possible WP:AVOIDVICTIM issues is a regular editorial decision that could be taken here or, if more input is desired, at WP:BLP/N. If there's private information that having those sources in the article creates a "safety and security issue for the subject" that should overrule the consensus of editors on what's best for the encyclopedia, that's an issue beyond OTRS' pay grade and should probably be addressed via the Wikimedia Foundation's emergency email address, emergencywikimedia.org.

Hi Dharmap1. Nice to see you back and thanks for the above. I have read this and there are two issues here:
Given the above and the fact that this new non-publically available primary source also contradicts reliable quality secondary sources used in the article means that this new source has no chance of being able to replace them in the article. I note that he has a downloadable CV on his bio page of his University of Chicago page, however, it is a different document, and does not, unfortunately, have a "Personal Details" section with the place of birth and age. If you could get this CV changed to include these personal details then a good case could be made for it to replace the existing sources in the article. At least it would be publically available and unambiguously sourced from the subject himself (given it is on his official bio page). Hope that makes sense. Kind Regards.
