User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-1506468-20190827123101/@comment-6032121-20190906050002 If I may just drop in for a moment, I disagree with the way Amorkuz is voicing the crux of the debate. Whether we should "validate every story posted on a personal website of a person who claims to have obtained the copyright?" is a question that should be resolved as well, but as it surfaced, isn't actually the matter at hand here, because the website under discussion isn't a personal website and Wylder short stories is also to be released in print, in both cases under the aegis of Arcbeatle Press — as demonstrated by User:AthenodoraKitten. Whether we should cover stories on personal websites not affiliated with a publisher is another, and quite interesting, question, and it arose in the middle of this debate, but only at a point in the conversation where we were working based on erroneous data.

This dictionary definition of yours, by the way, seems patently not to be the one used on the Wiki, since unlicensed commercially-released offline works written by official DWU authors rather than mere 'fans' (i.e. Hinton/McKeon's Time's Champion, Magrs' short story about Panda on Gallifrey) are also dismissed based on T:NO FANFIC. Isn't there a legal definition we could go by?
