I feel like with any other info added to his page about his being transgender, the person adding it should ask him directly if he is comfortable with that info being published. (Like should have been done in the first place if he is actually trans, leeking info without his permision is a huge violation of his privacy, and incredibly disrespectful.) This is why my proposed rule requires admin approval. Survivor Wiki aims to be a resource of Survivor-related-information, but allowing any single editor to deadname Zeke is going too far.

Admins and bureaucrats are understood to know exactly what deadnaming entails, and would not add that information lightly.

(As for your argument on birth sex, we have the long-established precedent of Phiilippine contestant Justine Ferrer, who has been mentioned as transgender on the wiki for a very long time. True, it's not a U.S. page, but our Philippine editors never edit warred over it.)
