Career overview

Write in original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Format: Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Length: 180-260 words.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
Subject: Steve Young (Writing).
Source [1]: Steve Young (TMDB). Known for: Writing. Known credits: 12. Content score: 88.
Source [2]: Lenny Von Dohlen (Deadline). Mentions Steve Barron (director), Emmy nom for Merlin, Miami Vice, thirtysomething, The Equalizer, The Young Riders. No mention of Steve Young.
Source [3]: Steve Martin (Biography). Mentions Steve Martin's birth, career, awards, An Object of Beauty. No mention of Steve Young.
Subject: Steve Young.
Profession: Writing.
Credits: 12 known credits.
Content Score: 88.
Draft 1: Steve Young is a writer with twelve known credits. According to The Movie Database, his work is associated with a content score of 88.
Wait, the word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Looking at the sources again:
Source [1] is the only source that mentions "Steve Young".
Source [1] provides almost no information: "Known For: Writing", "Known Credits: 12", "Content Score: 88".
If I strictly follow the rule "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent... details", I cannot reach 180 words because there are simply not enough facts about Steve Young in the provided text.
Re-evaluating the sources:
Source [1]: Steve Young (Writing), 12 credits, Content Score 88.
Source [2]: Lenny Von Dohlen, Steve Barron, Merlin, Miami Vice, thirtysomething, The Equalizer, The Young Riders.
Source [3]: Steve Martin, born Aug 14, 1945, Waco Texas, left college 1967, Best Actor awards (NY Film Critics Association, National Board of...), An Object of Beauty (2010).
Constraint Check: The prompt asks for a career overview of Steve Young (Writing).
If I write about Steve Martin, I am violating the subject instruction.
If I write about Lenny Von Dohlen, I am violating the subject instruction.
If I write about Steve Young using only Source [1], I only have: "Steve Young is known for writing. He has 12 known credits. His content score is 88." This is approximately 20 words.
Conflict: The user wants 180-260 words about a person for whom only ~20 words of factual data exist in the provided text.
Archivist Protocol: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Decision: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "omit if not in material" rules over the word count instruction, because inventing facts to meet a word count is a direct violation of the core instruction. However, usually in these LLM prompts, if the word count is impossible, I should see if I missed something.
Let's look at the sources again. Is there any other "Steve Young"? No.
Is there any way to expand "Writing" and "12
