I would advise you to never ask anyone about wheter Kirkbride's lore is canon or not, as it is a highly controversial subject here and in all TES communities. There are people who follow his writings, and there are people who call them fan-fiction. In this wiki, Kirkbride's lore is displayed in the same manner as regular lore, as evidenced here and here. The purpose of a wiki is to provide information, and cutting off Kirkbride's lore, something that is accepted by a considerable number of the fanbase, would harm that goal. If the two types of lore (ingame and out-of-game) clash and conflicting information rises, be sure to note the two accounts and clarify the existence of said conflict. I suggest you do not rule out out-of-game sources, as this wiki has done so in the past and thus was heavily criticized by the other TES communities.

Hope this helps.
