For the most part, we'd treat anything by Person X as a primary source  
for [[Person X]]. I mean, if we want to make an explicit exception for  
a category, that's fine, but right now, nothing I can see in NOR even  
slightly undermines the idea that an article by Person X is a primary  
source for [[Person X]].
