User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-45692830-20200723133026/@comment-45692830-20200724063220 I get what you're saying. I'll note that I believe at this point you're the only person who has the book, so only you can answer the question on a technical level as to what is actually said. (At least of those who've commented in this thread.)

I will say that the author clearly intended for the entire book to be a valid source, given his tweet, but we don't base things off of authorial intent on that issue, but on whether the narrative actually supports the entire thing being the joke book in question.

I'll also point out that them being inside a joke book does not imply that the things said by the joke book are true within the context of the story (again, feel free to comment as to whether the book explicitly addresses this point). It just would mean that we know "these people were at some time trapped inside a joke book, the joke book said xyz". If we want to make pages about recursively fictional characters like "The Sore Doctor", sure, whatever. But from what I understand that's akin to just a character in a book within the DWU, not an actual person inside the DWU.
