I created this article and included a reference, which was later deleted with an edit summary asserting the source is unreliable. This is about "prabook", which apparently includes user-generated information. I happen to think it is a bit silly to completely remove the reference, as if to lie about the source. Many sources which include user-generated information, including IMDB, are valid and completely reliable with respect to some information, and less reliable with respect to other info. And as noted in discussion at the RSN noticeboard, prabook is at least valid as a starting point, much like Wikipedia is often regarded as a good starting point. That discussion was archived at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_211#Prabook_as_user-generated_content. --Doncram (talk) 18:33, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: It's pretty rough indeed - user-edited, prone to errors, and has an editorial disclaimer. Note that it appears to have the wrong death date.[1][2] Fair to note that those two sources have differing birth dates. Maybe use this[3] to support his brother taking over - although it appears to be a thesis paper? The PCAD entry also supports the masonic temple credit. Didn't want to touch anything while you're in the middle of re-write - will leave to your discretion. Kuru(talk)19:40, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
