Handbook entries are supplementary evidence. They can be used so long as they do not explicitly contradict elements from the source material itself... And in this case, I don't really see a contradiction, because I was under the impression that Starlin's most recent "Infinity" stories were intended to be canon. /shrug
...And the bio also notes that Starlin's iteration of TOAA = the Kirby avatar from F4 #511.
I remember there being a disagreement concerning its canonicity.
The argument mainly revolved around Brevoort's Tweets where he wrote that Marvel: The End wasn't canon, and since it was referenced in the Infinity-series people argued that they had to be non-canonical for referencing a non-canon event.

Events from "The End", for example, were referenced in numerous sources outside of the main series. That is to say: there is a LOT more on panel evidence to support the canonicity of "The End" and the recent "Infinity" books, then there is to the contrary. A few Tweets from Brevoort should not be able to retcon published material.

Doesn't The End have its own designation number, which is different than 616?
I honestly didn't expect to find you of all people so deep in Starlin's ass mmm biscuits
