In that case, don't include it.  But we already have a rule that says not
to include it.  Don't try to stretch different rules to do so.  It's not an
unreliable source, and it should not be banned as self-published.
Stretching the wrong rule to cover a situation can cause really bad problems
in the future when the stretched rule is now considered the rule's natural
meaning.
