They're referring to G-level canon which is George canon. Even if they weren't while I appreciate Splinter of the Mind's Eye for what it is, there's not a lot in it that can easily fit with the rest of the EU.
You have to remember, Lucas himself doesn't take the canonical status of the EU seriously, so it makes sense that some of his employees would dismiss it too, even if some others are busy promoting it as canon.
George himself has stated that there are different levels of canon. As well, the person who wrote that article was Pablo Hidalgo who is a big fan of and contributes to the EU regularly himself.
George himself has clearly stated the EU is a separate universe from his Star Wars and that it doesn't happen (he's given examples such as Luke marrying or the Emperor being cloned as things which don't happen). And I've read a lot said by George about canon, but I've never heard of him saying there's different levels of canon. I think you need to provide a quote for that.As for Hidalgo, just because he contributes to the EU doesn't mean he adheres to the fiction that it's canon.
