"Hoover had the largest collection of pornography in history. Some adult movies included photos of Joan Crawford, Frank Sinatra, Warren Beatty, and Tony Curtis." - Is the source here reliable enough? 2601:644:907E:A70:C579:4887:474:DB (talk) 10:14, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

no, I don't think so. Suffice to say "a very large stash" Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:23, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The page en:Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says "The Daily Express is a tabloid with a number of similarities to the Daily Mail. It is considered generally unreliable." 2601:644:907E:A70:C579:4887:474:DB (talk) 10:24, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it should really be cited to the book mentioned in that source - J Edgar Hoover & Clyde Tolson, if someone can get hold of a copy and verify, of course. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:28, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
