Explain the situation on the talk page. Basically, you wrote the text
on IMDB as well. There is nothing wrong with this.
As a reference, it's now basically a first-party reference - it's a
bio approved by the subject. Not enough for third-party, but good for
e.g. resolving "innocuous", etc.
If it ends up deleted, hey. See if you can recreate from third-party
sources with the approved bio as is usable.
