[WikiEN-l] Insufficient primary sources

Fri Jan 2 13:22:02 UTC 2004

The matter of pet scientific theories and personal biographies have 
something in common: we can't verify them because the only material we 
can find on them is written by the author.

So I suggest that we focus on this angle. We already have a policy that 
"Wikipedia is not a primary source".
This provides sufficient justification for not having these types of 
articles in WP.
We should perhaps try to come up with loose guidelines as to how many 
primary sources we require.
