I just reread Tardis:Valid sources and it seems that the section T:NO SELF REF is relevant here. "Tennant's tweet of his age or hometown or other biographical information absolutely cannot be used at the page David Tennant." and "we do not accept the statements of individuals about themselves as valid sources for the page about them." For this reason it seems that everything in the parentheses of the first paragraph of this page should be removed. WarDocFan12 ☎ 15:12, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
