Inappropriate source[edit]

I'm rather concerned by the use of this reference. Says WP:BLPPRIMARY: "Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses." That would include this source. Using it also violates WP:NPF: "... exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources." No "high-quality secondary source" discussing Ott's crime has been presented. Thus I'll remove the source and the content based on it (except that for which a secondary source exists).

Fair enough, and I can't disagree with the principle. It does, however, make the information on this page a little out of date. Ott is no longer in Austin and is no longer using the stage name Big Poppa E, which he retired when he relocated. The retirement, such as it is, has been posted on one of several websites created by or at least about Ott at this point, including but not limited to deviantart, ello and flickr. This counts as significant original research, so I'm at a loss as to what to do, other than leave the article as is and outdated. Absurdist1968 (talk) 02:58, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no reliable third-party sources on Ott retiring his stage name, or on him relocating, those apparently aren't significant events of his career. We should focus on what he's notable for, not include every piece of trivia we can. Huon (talk) 20:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
