Roberts' autobiography as source[edit]

Does anyone reading this (probably n=0) know if it is legitimate by Wikipedia standards to use information from an autobiography (of the subject of a Wikipedia article) in a Wikipedia article about that subject? (In this case, Roberts' book "A Passion for Gold", for this article).

If there's no answer, I'll go dig through Wikipedia doc pages and post the answer here (and either incorporate the book or not). Finney1234 (talk) 05:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
