I don't see why you claim on the one hard that the standards are lax, and  
then you say "Encarta and Encyclopedia Brittanica".
You've lost me.  Are you claiming that Brittanica is not a reliable  source?
The standards for sources on BLPs are not lax imho, they are stronger than  
anything else.
Perhaps if you made your point more clearly.
I don't see the issue you're trying to draw with the other sources.
My point is specifically primary versus secondary, not any other  point.
