Yes, on the general point, common sense prevails. For example if a subject, or someone who knows them says "Actually the primary school is wrong it should be X" and the primary school is unsourced, then it makes sense to change it - mentioning on the talk page - an RS will probably be along sooner or later. If, however, it were some contentious item "actually I was going to be nominated for 7 Oscars not 2, but MGM prevented it" then no, it stays out. And certainly a challenge from the subject should make us think carefully about the sourcing, attribution and phrasing of almost any statement.

The article has been substantially trimmed down and sourced, thanks to the efforts of Fæ. I suspect now is time to withdraw the AfD nomination? (If the AfD nomination indeed gets withdrawn I'll go and take a picture of Lulu as soon as possible :D)
