First of all, just because you deem the artistic style as unrealistic does not in any way disqualify them from the wiki. I have a hard time taking Simon Fraser's and a lot of DWA art seriously because they're so simplistic, but that's not a legitimate reason to disqualify them. That's the equivalent of picking up a prose story and arguing you personally didn't like the writer's style or characterization, so the story should be stricken from the wiki.

In Pond Life, it is depicted River Song living with her parents; Amy and Rory don't ant her to date the Doctor (even referred as "Who"), in "that death machine of his". In Timeliney Wimey, the Doctor connects to his profile on "Bookface" through his screwdriver; Strax, Leela and Polly Wright are among his contacts and comment on their posts, River Song tags pictures of them... even Judoons (one of them named Steve) follow their profiles on this social network.

Second of all, there's nothing to suggest River is living with her parents in Pond Life. We know from The Wedding of River Song she visits them at their home without the Doctor. We also know from stories such as First Night, The Angels Take Manhattan, and The Angel's Kiss River has her own experiences when the Doctor isn't around, meaning it's absolutely plausible she could have alien friends such as Steve the Judoon.

Moreover, even if those points were contradictory, Tardis:Valid sources states:

Our methods have long stressed the need to include as many different tales as possible, even if they are in explicit narrative contradiction. We specifically do not consider the quality of the narrative when deciding whether to exclude a story.
