Absolutely. Especially since, if the rewrite for WP:FICT passes, articles will be required to have out-of-universe information to establish notability. WAF should then emphasize perspective with such information already assumed to be included.

Hmm.. WAF first gives a list of examples of what constitutes actual oou-perspective, but in the second section says "or describing things from the author or creator's perspective". Including only statements referring to specific parts of a work is more like half-in-half-out-universe, your example still lacks any information regarding an essential out-of-world- perspective, and a simple reformulation seems a bit WEASELy. But that's really just my opinion, obviously I'm in mild disagreement with the current wording and interpretation of WAF. It's what I'm arguing for after all: WAF should give less leeway in that direction, since it's currently giving too much of it.
