I dispute that this is my private meaning.
And I propose that this is the standard meaning.
As well as the inworld meaning.

What I said, and what I've been saying is that any
source which is our
first incident of a particular "fact" is a primary source, no matter
what their source was.
You must appreciate, though, that your private definition of this term
is not the established meaning for this term, which has been in use
since well before Wikipedia started. And that using private
definitions of terms without acknowledging doing so only leads to
confusion.
