I believe that we should standardize all articles on ISO 8601, because it's easy to parse, and impossible to misinterpret. Additionally, situations like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A2600%3A8800%3AB00%3AB20%3A356B%3AB97%3A1D7%3AAAA3#c-Rokejulianlockhart-20231207174500-Date_Format_Consistency_Regression, where an editor modifies the dates to suit their preference of the options currently available (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Formats) would be entirely prevented.
