Before I post my comments, I want to clear up two major misconceptions. Thanks for your attention.
 * 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.
