Questionable Sources: Wikipedia:Identifying Reliable Sources Questionable and Self-Published Sources

Questionable sources are those that have a poor reputation for fact-checking, lack meaningful editorial oversight, or have an apparent conflict of interest. Such sources include websites or publications expressing extremist or promotional views not considered reliable by other sources, or that rely on unsubstantiated gossip, rumors, or personal opinions. Questionable sources should only be used when writing about themselves, and are not suitable for making contentious claims about others.

Questionable sources
Questionable sources are those that have a poor reputation for checking the facts, lack
meaningful editorial oversight, or have an apparent conflict of interest.[8] Such sources
include websites and publications expressing views that are widely considered by other
sources to be extremist or promotional, or that rely heavily on unsubstantiated gossip, rumor
or personal opinion. Questionable sources should only be used as sources of material on
themselves, especially in articles about themselves; see below. They are not suitable sources
for contentious claims about others.
