As much as I appreciate something finally being done about the novel content as it relates to the progression of this wiki, the unbending stance to consider them CFYOW novels non-canon along with the rest feels more like a roadblock and a perpetuation of continued bias. Considering we had someone in the former thread — who is now blocked, it would appear? — that knew quite a bit about the novels and would happily have helped clear up any misconceptions, that appears to be a simple waste of available resources.

I would still propose that these be added to the main bodies of the article, without such need as to separate them from them in their entirety. Separating these novels — specifically the likes of CFYOW and WDKALY — appears, in my eyes, to be an "out of sight, out of mind" situation, while filler arcs, which are perhaps the most non-canon material this wiki has document short of games and musicals (Bleach has musicals? I really have been gone for far too long) are allowed to perpetuate articles.

The CFYOW and WDKALY novels should, if only for Kubo's far heavier involvement, be held in higher regards than, say, SAAWY. The only other novel I would propose be held in similar regard to CFYOW and WDKALY is "The Death Save the Strawberry", a novel that takes place before and concurrently with the Fullbring arc, as it details the events occurring in Soul Society at this time and ends when Rukia restores Ichigo's powers to him.

If you would insist on considering them non-canon, as I do not think I am able to change the minds of the people who so adamantly keep to this notion, then would it not be of better mind to document them in the way that filler is documented? Otherwise, filler should be split into additional tabs as well, if the simple ground of canonicity and inconsistencies are what is being considered, as who is involved with said works is clearly unimportant here (i.e. Toei produced the filler arcs, therefore they should be placed in the articles cannot fly when Kubo is so heavily involved in CFYOW).

I have yet to read any of the comments in this thread, merely Xilinoc's opening statement, as I wanted to say my piece first, so I certainly hope that my lack of punctuality will in any way affect the legitimacy of my statements henceforth.
