Biography of Living Persons policy
[edit]The article subject is a non-public figure, and the policy indicates that in such cases, "editors should exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability, while omitting information that is irrelevant to the subject's notability. Material from third-party primary sources should not be used unless it has first been published by a reliable secondary source." The definition of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources is here. In this context, any editor who inserts content based on primary sources, which includes court documentation, is liable to be blocked. PhilKnight (talk) 14:34, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
The linked page does mention "trials" as an example of a primary source. It would be good to eventually raise the question (here) of what sort of conclusions made in a public court document this can cover. (An actual transcript of the trial would obviously be a primary source.) Patagonium (talk) 19:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
