Works are acceptable as sources for  themselves.>>


--------------------
 
Yes but our policy does address specifically articles that are mostly, or  
mainly referenced from primary sources.  We don't like them.  We want  the 
article to have been interesting enough to have already been published by  
reliable, secondary, third-party .... etc.
 
Building an article based entirely or even mostly or mainly on primary  
sources is frowned upon.
This was hashed out many years ago, and in-fact spawned a number of  
short-articles in WP space as we were debating all the intricacies.
