I would leave a message on the talk page of the editor who is removing the information. Also, if they continue, notify an administrator. Please do not get into an
edit war and remember the
3RR. If you need additional help, please
let me know. Thanks and Happy Editing,

Unfortunatley, I am not an
administrator. I would go to the
WP:AN and leave a message there. You can let me know and I can do it for you, as well as rever the edit, as I am in a special category of users with the
Rollback function on my account. Happy Editing,

I've removed his children's names, per
WP:BLP. Even if it wasn't a BLP violation, it isn't necessary to list his children's names (nor their birthdates, for that matter). ·

From
Howard Sounes: "His extensive and painstaking research of unseen evidence concerning Dylan's life included birth, death and marriage certificates, court papers, property and tax records which enabled him to pin down precise details of Dylan's life where in the past only erroneous speculation had existed. Members of the Dylan family, with the exception of Jakob Dylan, were interviewed by Sounes on the understanding that they would not be named." The book very likely includes
BLP violations, if these sentences are accurate. Did Jakob Dylan give permission for his son's names to be released? ·
