Referencing a biography[edit]The biography should be supported mainly by reliable secondary sources independent of the subject and be more than just a passing mention. Examples include:
The primaries such as biographies, tweets, and interviews would count as WP:SELFPUB and should be judged to see if the statements are not extraordinary claims. Referencing external links[edit]The following items are potential external links. Note that some items such as Twitter or Facebook do not need to be mentioned if the person has an official website with those links, per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL. Please also see WP:EL for more guidance.
Referencing a filmography[edit]If building one from scratch (or by WP:TNT), start with the actor's agency resume or profile. Assuming they did not list every role they have ever been in, this will indicate what roles the actor considers most important. Cite this source in the upper corner of the filmography table, and enter "Resume", "Tweet", "Website", or "Press" on the individual entries if the only source is a primary or self-published source. Places to find citations if news articles won't suffice:
