Encyclopedia.com is a tertiary source, and perfectly reliable.
I'm very surprised to see anyone question the reliability of an online encyclopedia, especially one that not anybody can just edit. That man from Nantucket (talk) 17:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Previous version did not include this ref. I now included it, and I think it can be used on this page, although that would not be an appropriate RS for other pages. My very best wishes (talk) 18:57, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Encyclopedia is not well sourced. It uses lots of primary material that WP would not accept. E.G. the encyclopedia.com article has his kids names and maybe their favorite flavours if ice cream as well. It's like money-laundering for source citations. This fine gentleman is not really notable per PROF. If anybody believes otherwise, please state in detail how he fits the tests in the WP guideline?  Thanks.  The stuff that's currently sourced to encyclopedia.com is innocuous and could just as well be sourced to his personal bio or even left unannotated, as they are uncontroversial and unchallenged.

 * This is a "quaternary" source that should not be used if challenged by anyone, but I thought the info was harmless. So whatever. My very best wishes (talk) 22:28, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Exactly! SPECIFICO  talk  22:37, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
