"Stance on Police" section

[edit]

Twice now, I have deleted a section or sentences that shared McNallie's "views" or "stance" on police. The sources were primary, including her own Instagram account. Her views on police are not something that reliable, independently written sources report on. I see it as way different from what we normally do on wikipedia to quote someone's own Instagram. Seeking consensus. CT55555(talk) 14:58, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CT55555, in general I'd say primary sources are fine for direct quotes at least, as per WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD. (Without comment on this specific instance as I've not looked carefully enough though.) -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:45, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but the context is quoting her own Instagram to quote her views on a topic of the editor's choosing. That's not how I've ever seen biographies. I think in the context of the associated criminality, even more care is needed. Requesting opinions on the specific situation here. CT55555(talk) 18:50, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is extremely common to detail the views or opinions of activists on their Wiki page. As an example, see Linda Sarsour. Primary sources is actually the best way to reliably ascertain these views. If desired, you can add sections about her views on other topics (so long as you do the research and cite reliable sources). This will add more context to her opinions generally. The solution here is more information, not less information. 2604:3D09:F7A:A780:F831:2C28:7CE9:2798 (talk) 17:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
