The  whole exercise seems to be devoted to substituting one version of  
bafflegab with another, although I dod note that a section in the  
current guideline encouraging people to be bold is being completely  
excised.  What people need to know about an article on fiction is  that 
it is in fact fiction.  That is all we need to know about  whether 
something is in or out of our universe.  We need to keep  things simple.  
We need to recognize that many minor characters and  incidents probably 
don't have enough information available to warrant a  full article, but 
we need to approach that with great flexibility.   Some small incidents 
like the knocking at the gate in "Macbeth" can have a  lot of unexpected 
dimensions.
Yes, but such "simplicity" would allow for hundreds of articles explaining  
every detail of every mecha or minor character, as long as it begins with "____ 
 is a fictional character..." Why should fiction notability be held to lower  
standards than the rest of Wikipedia?
