Marriedbiography.com as a source

edit

Hi Melissa Hastings. I noticed that you used marriedbiography.com as a source for information in a biography article, Darby Stanchfield. I am unable to find any evidence or discussion indicating that marriedbiography.com meets reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Ronz (talk) 04:13, 22 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
