Be that as it may, if I read between the lines of User:Shambala108's closure of Thread:269310, the problem appears to be that these stories are “commercials” — they're there, it seems, to complement the sale of non-narrative merchandise and justify it, rather than as stories in their own right, and so they're out for similar reasons to Dr Who and the Turgids.

The closure doesn't deny that those things are narratives — but they fail the "no advertisements" clause of T:VS, or so goes the argument. So that's what you'd need to find evidence against to properly reopen this debate.
