No, read up on [[WP:ATT]]. In general, it's ok to state any fact which
has already been published. If you're 95%+ sure that a relevant fact
has been published, you might as well just add it, especially if
you're creating a stub. If we survived 5 years without the stub, we
can probably survive a few weeks or months with an unsourced but
generally accurate stub.
