Original Bio's = OR?
editWould an original bio be considered original research since no previous bio on the subject has been done. Cutting and pasting events establishing notability of a subject seems like OR. MrMurph101 (talk) 03:49, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I think that's the idea (and I would support it). A biography should only be written on Wikipedia if reliable third-party sources have published biographies before. (And, moreover, these third-party biographies should be what the Wiki article is based on.) --B. Wolterding (talk) 08:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, it seems I might be correct. I'll add it here. MrMurph101 (talk) 23:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
