I disagree with
MarkYabloko's contention that this article is in violation of WP:BLPGOSSIP. The sources are solid, especially the Reuters article. The Reuters article did a pretty in-depth investigation and goes a lot further in its claims and directly states that Katerina is Putin's daughter, but I chose to be more conservative in my wording.

"...that is as close as possible to the primary source(s) on the described topic." - are you referring to this bit, that I shouldn't call it a rumor and directly state that she is his daughter?

Indeed, it can not be rumors, or as hard to believe, can not even be based on primary source(s) only, as stated above.
Sorry, I have no idea what you're saying here. Can you explain how this article, as written, is violating "Wikipedia is a tertiary source"? Thanks

Wikipedia's main namespace is an encyclopedia and thus a tertiary source.
Wikipedia is not a primary source
Wikipedia avoids describing topics that never have been described before — doing otherwise qualifies as performing original research. Unsourced eyewitness accounts or other unsourced information obtained from personal experience should not be added to articles, as this would cause Wikipedia to become a primary source for the added information (see Wikipedia:Verifiability).
Wikipedia is not a secondary source
Wikipedia does not offer interpretations or analyses that deviate from previously published interpretations and analyses — doing otherwise qualifies as performing original research.
Wikipedia is a tertiary source
Wikipedia summarizes descriptions, interpretations and analyses that are found in secondary sources, and/or bases such summaries on tertiary sources. Wikipedia illustrates such summaries and descriptions with material that is as close as possible to the primary source(s) on the described topic.
her corrupt dwarf dad has kept his entire family secret, so she can have any last name. In RuNet they say that this is the surname of her grandmother. — Preceding

She has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of her, so meets
WP:GNG. There is too much information in this article to cram into a section of a 'family of Putin' article.
