[WikiEN-l] WP:FICT rewrite

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.
