Before I post my comments, I want to clear up two major misconceptions.

  • First, there is more to Tardis:Valid sources than just the four little rules. It's misleading to assume that all you have to do is run down a checklist to therefore declare something valid or invalid. I suggest a careful reading of that page (and for good measure, Tardis talk:Canon policy/Archive 2 is useful for User:CzechOut's attempts to explain our policy to a doubting editor).
  • Second, despite what some people upthread seem to think, it is important to get your facts straight before posting. There were a few inclusion debates where a poster withheld information detrimental to his/her cause and/or posted false information. That is not the case here, but it's important when making your case that you are careful not to post, however unintentionally, inaccurate or misleading information.

Thanks for your attention.
