and

WP:MEDRS:

Primary sources should not be cited in support of a conclusion that is not clearly made by the authors or by reliable secondary sources

and

WP:NOR:

Primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Misplaced Pages, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source can be used only to make descriptive statements that can be verified by any educated person without specialist knowledge.
