So if secondary sources mention "her husband the plumber", and "her five children are named Marjory, Bruce, Wayne, Robin and Ambidextrous", then we can. If they don't, we shouldn't. That would be the first line of attack for anyone who wants to remove these details.
Actually, since WP:NOT states this:
"Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information/As explained in the policy introduction, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia."
there is a "first line of attack" from fundamentals. No one will quite be able to formulate what "indiscriminate" means universally, across all types of topics, but I think we are pretty good at [[duck test]]s.
