That has never been the case, however. The four little rules are a guideline for determining validity, but they are just a part of Tardis:Valid sources. We take the entire policy into account when determining validity.

And, as such, Tardis:Valid sources has ruled that the information from DWBIT (aside from the comic stories, which do have articles) is not valid. This is similar to the reasoning behind not allowing any story info on merchandise packaging.
