“If you think that establishing facts (e.g., whether Arcbeatle Press is a self-publisher or a small press similar to Thebes Publishing) is not necessary in validity debates, it is your opinion. I disagree and believe that facts matter and will endeavour to establish them as best I can.”

I have nothing against establishing facts per se. Obviously I believe facts matter in inclusion debate. But not just any facts. Is there anything anywhere in Tardis's policies to state that "whether a story's publisher is a self-publisher or a company is relevant to a story's validity"? If there isn't, how are these particular facts relevant? You might as well argue that researching James Wylder's mother's maiden name is relevant because it's a fact.
