• WP:EXCEPTIONAL Exceptional claims require exceptional sources
• Verbiage somewhat borrowed from this post to Talk:Joe Rogan: If there are little-to-no reliable sources discussing it, it may be disproportionate and undue to mention it all, let alone give it a devoted subsection. Verifiability does not mandate inclusion.
• I also liked this verbiage from the Michael Malice talk page: Not all of these opinions and influences belong in this article. If these details matter, cite a WP:IS to explain to readers of this article why they are encyclopedically significant. Adding arbitrary trivia from his social media is a form of promotion, as it implies that these perspectives are important without providing any justification.

  • Also posted question to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions about trying to reuse a non-free image on National Lampoon (magazine) on Ed Bluestone and was advised:

    There's no need to re-upload the file, and it will probably end up deleted if you do. A non-free file may be used more than once but a separate, specific non-free use rationale is needed for each use. So, if you feel the non-free use of the cover in the Bluestone article is justified per relevant policy, you're going to need to add rationale for that use to the file's page. Please keep in mind WP:JUSTONE, WP:NFC#cite_note-3, WP:NFC#CS and item 6 of WP:NFC#UUI if you do try and do that and don't simply just repeat what's written in the rationale for the use in the National Lampoon article because the two uses aren't equivalent.
