It's a fan Twitter account - anyone can send out a tweet, thus fan twitter accounts are considered unreliable. There's plenty of trolls out there (not that I think @The100Podcast is one) and fans can misstate what cast/crew said, so I never consider fan tweets as 'facts'.

If you hover over the tag, it explains: "Current source is a fan twitter account, please add a more reliable source." Reliable source include statements directly from crew/cast (their social media or videos of them saying it), news articles (e.g. EW, deadline.com, etc.), and known journalist accounts (e.g. Twitter @InsideThe100 is run by journalist @CarlaDay).

Even big accounts like @The100S6 are fan accounts and don't adhere to journalist standards (they publish rumors without confirmation of truth). Fan accounts & rumor gatherers have their place in the fandom. However, the wiki is treated by many fans as a canon encyclopedia - that is, what we write is 'Truth' and 'Fact'. Thus, we have to be careful about what we include and hence the preference for reliable sources.

Completely different example: Miles Shaw's age. Because the wiki said he was 23 it was assumed as fact, and then we started getting trivia that he is biologically a year younger than Raven but chronologically a hundred years older. But since Shaw's age is unknown, the trivia is invalid. The point is that well-intentioned fans may write something or tweet something that isn't actually confirmed as true.

Back to the Two-Sun Planet trivia: I don't intend to delete it (though when s6 comes out, confirmed info would be integrated into articles & inaccurate rumors deleted), however the point is to mark the current sourcing as insufficiently reliable (so readers will know information hasn't been confirmed by reliable sources). This is similar how Wikipedia does things, see Wikipedia:Template:Better source.
