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".
