In a recent posting, Jimbo stated that anything that draws from primary sources is OR. The section is question was drawn in part from primary sources (San Diego courts case detail, a Superior court judgement).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons suggests that whether or not primary sources can be used depends on how public the figure is. For non-public figures, it says "material from primary sources should generally not be used," whereas for public figures it says "material from primary sources should be used with care" though that is under the heading "Presumption in favor of privacy".
