I would like to consider myself a "reliable source." I'm his granddaughter. Does that count?

No. See WP:OR. Original research is strictly not allowed. All information in a Wikipedia article should use reliable sources, which doesn't include personal experiences. elektrik SHOOS 07:07, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an "organization." I'm not creating articles; I'm not participating in deletion discussions. I'm deleting non-verifiable and potentially libelous content.

Yeah, sorry, I thought the template was worded differently. In any case, most of it's still valid. You generally should stay away from subjects you have a vested interest in per WP:COI as anything that's not of a NPOV will certainly be look at with extra suspicion. elektrik SHOOS 07:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
