Imagine being able to actually get Pa Cartwright to star in a sci-fi show.
That would have been awesome.

That would have been frakkin' awesome! Like in a show leading a band of rag tag fugitives on a shining quest...
Memory Alpha's policy basically comes down to "if we like it, we'll accept it as canon."
And then some cast/crew (including Hemmer actor, per the latest Ready Room, and iirc Simon Pegg for Beyond as a writer?director?) use M:A to prep/study for their roles, and then those things turn up in the show and end up being added to M:A anyway so it's somewhat cyclic/self-perpetuating.
Enterprise Bingo:
- When you're assigned duty as Enterprise Transporter Chief, you must assume the name: Kyle
^^^
There, Canon/Continuity issues fixed.

Must be fan run.
I was more referencing the fact that Memory Alpha is notorious for engaging in double standards when it comes to what information they allow on their site and what they don't. For example, here they are allowing the fact that this Kyle is the same as the character from TOS, because apparently a behind the scenes source has told them this is so. Yet, there was the infamous incident last year, where Memory Alpha refused to acknowledge Adira on Disco is non-binary because it's never been stated on the show and the only source on that is behind the scenes material, which MA claim can't be treated as canonical. At the time, everyone rightfully accused MA of bigotry, a charge they've never actually denied, as they continue to hide behind the shield of being "about canonicity."
We've had something similar with MA refusing to acknowledge the term "Kelvin Timeline" because it's never been used onscreen, despite the fact ever since the site started back in 2003 they've been using the term "Mirror Universe" despite the fact that was never used onscreen prior to 2019. It's generally assumed their decision not to use the term Kelvin Timeline is a form of anti-Abrams gatekeeping.
With all this in mind, the obvious answer to the question Yistaan was asking about why they acknowledge that SNW Kyle is the same as TOS Kyle yet won't acknowledge that Will Decker is Matt Decker's son is because they like the idea of the two Kyles being the same person, but don't like the idea of the two Deckers being father and son.
British sounding Picard is French, then SNW Kyle can be Australian
He's not though. Doesn't have an Australian accent.
John Winston is from Leeds in England. He's not remotely Australian. 
Neither SNW or TOS Kyle is an accurate representation of the "real" Kyle. Real Kyle is half Asian and half white, and he dyed his brown hair black under Pike and blonde from TOS onward.
Now we just need some CGI mashup of Andre Dae Kim and John Winston to show us the true Kyle.

John Kim is my favorite CGI actor! He'll be great in the role.
Does Cadet Uhura sound Kenyan to you?
She sounds about as Kenyan as Picard sounded French in TNG S1 - S7.
(FYI - Nichelle Nichols as Uhura didn't in TOS either.)
And when she spoke Swahili in "The Man Trap" she sounded like an American woman speaking Swahili.
Oh no! How can I ever watch Star Trek again! My immersion is ruined!
It's a Starfleet thing. Picard sounds like a British guy speaking French. :O
Thankfully there's a salt vampire in that episode that never blinks so it'll all even out.
What? That killed your immersion and not:
Ricardo Montalbán as Khan with an Indian surname and background (despite being and sounding quite Mexican...)
