Mediator notes
Short answer is no, not acceptable. Long answer- BLP is very strict on this sort of stuff. The section that was added has no information on the subject of the article. Details of the fathers activities does not belong in the article, especially in the context it has been added. If the information was on the subject of the article itself, the text was written neutrally and backed up with reliable sources, then yes, it could be in the article, but no, not if it's their father.
