Noteworthiness
Content in an encyclopedic biography for any living person should appear in due weight and be noteworthy, or biographically significant. Noteworthiness is not the same as notability; events and details themselves need not be independently notable to be worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedic biography. However, the actual and enduring significance of most facts, events, and accomplishments should be demonstrated through reliable secondary sources. This is especially true of claims touching at a subject's notability. Given the significance of a fact, its prose within the article must present the information with due weight.

Reliable sources
The significance of particular facts and events, as well as the relevance of topics outside a subject's notability, is best demonstrated primarily by coverage in verifiable, reliable, secondary sources. In most cases, basic biographical information such as name, date and place of birth, familial relations, nationality and residence can come from sources published by the subject if such sources are the most reliable.

Beyond basic biographical information, reliable secondary sources are appropriate to distinguish between encyclopedically significant facts and trivial content. The subject, other parties to an event, and other primary sources may indicate that a fact is true or that an event occurred, but alone they are generally insufficient to demonstrate the importance of that fact or event. Trivial facts can also become noteworthy later, depending on the nature and duration of further coverage; cf. WP:TOOSOON.

For example, reliable secondary sources may support content regarding politics and religion or charity in articles on living actor/directors and CEOs. However, receipt of an award that enjoys no coverage in secondary sources is most likely insignificant.

Due weight
Information in living persons' biographies must be balanced so that prose assigns due weight, whether positive, neutral, or negative. Depending on the weight assigned within an article, the requirements of biographical noteworthiness may be — but are not always — less stringent than those of notability. Content about persons notable for a single event and people who are relatively unknown should be treated with caution, as inclusion of unrelated information may present problems of undue weight.

For example, a public figure's career-ending controversy might garner a paragraph or section of encyclopedic content. On the other hand, the biography of a living academic should not detail instances of being haled into court, unless such controversy directly touches upon that subject's notability. Due weight should be determined through editorial consensus.
