During the original discussion I was willing to be swayed in either direction, as the facts presented themselves, and again here again now this is the case.

It can be said that what Miles says isn't that much removed, (as others have said in this thread) from Graceless, Iris Wildthyme etc ... LM's interview back then was seen as a negative reaction against DW fandom and the DW universe. It's this that possibly swayed how it was interpreted; selectively as it was.

As this discussion has unfolded it certainly seems there is a greater weight of evidence towards re-inclusion.

Thanks for replying with your support Tangerineduel! Great that we have the assenting opinion of one of the originally-involved higher-ups, although we're still waiting for CzechOut to wander through.

I agree that the viability (or lack thereof) of the FP Wikia is a non sequitur to this debate, albeit one reinforced by admin responses involving the topic. I also agree that integration is a completely different discussion, and we should worry about crossing that bridge when we get there, although within this thread we seem to have already reached a pretty resounding and rule-consistent consensus on the topic.

I accept your gentle chastising for patience - maybe S10 was overly optimistic, but I do think it's still achievable - though I struggle to conceive of dissenting arguments in the face of such overwhelming evidence about authorial intent. Regardless, we should still keep this page solely for contributions to the topic at hand. Anyone with more evidence should feel invited to come forward and share :)
