Possible Plot Inconsistency?

Spoilers for season 3 and beyond:

So I was talking to my friend about Lost, trying to remember if Boone was a candidate or not before he died, and I was consulting the list of candidates on Lostpedia when I see that they have Eko listed as one?

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t candidates untouchable and unable to be killed (directly) by the MIB/smoke monster? Eko was literally killed by him.

I’m more inclined to believe that Lostpedia made a mistake than the show itself but I wanted to post on here before I go scroll through episodes looking myself.

So does anyone know if his name is actually listed in the lighthouse and the show made a mistake? When I first watched it I didn’t even really look at the list, I had immediately assumed that Eko wasn’t a candidate, considering his death. But was he? Maybe it’s a situation where he wasn’t killed by the MIB directly but his existing injuries were exacerbated so it doesn’t count? I’m not sure.
