Please review Renee Alway article for WP:VERIFY and related violations
As a protected article, the above referenced work must hone strictly to WP policy and guideline standards, as it cannot naturally evolve in the direction of compliance through serial small edits.

We note that at least one paragraph in the article—e.g., see the Early life section presenting allegations regarding her father—makes biographical/historical claims based not on secondary or tertiary sources, but rather on a primary source, and a single autobiographical one at that. (The specific claim referenced is one by the title subject, made in an episode of a television series.)

Because that claim can reasonably be inferred to apply to another individual yet living, the standards of WP: BLP apply (not just to the title subject, but also to other individuals described).

We argue that it is utterly inappropriate by WP policy and guideline standards to state as fact anything about a living person based solely on the autobiographical claim of another individual in a primary source.

The specific edit we recommend, at least, is that the detail from the primary source be reduced until a secondary source can be found, and likewise, that the word like "alleged" or "claimed" be included in the description—because that is the best that can be said, that one individual has alleged conduct on the part of a second individual (both BLP).

This edit is both true to the source involved, and true to the principles reflected in WP:BLP and WP:VERIFY.
