No, I disagree with the way you've quoted Dab policy and are saying it universally applies to all day of the year articles. Again, as I've pointed out above, stories are a specialised thing.

I don't think we should just say, "all dates must be dabbed". The broader thrust of dab policy is that undabbed terms mean in-universe articles. If we just dabbed every day of the year PAGENAME, we'd be losing something of syntactic importance.

And the point is that if you're using a link to 15 January on a story page to indicate broadcast date, you don't mean the in-universe date anyway. You mean the real world date. Thus, having 15 January and 15 January (real world), allows us to more accurately link to dates.
