So let me get this straight.

The primary reason content from the LNs is not being incorporated fullscale here is because... of the format, and the fact that a few of the users here aren't fans of the material?

On this wiki there are pages that detail the filler arcs, filler arc characters, filler arc Zanpakutou, filler arc techniques, weapons, etc. Then there are articles from the Bleach movies. And articles from Bleach games and other media... none of which were directly/primarily written by Kubo.

But no one thinks until now to do the same for the LNs, using the argument that "they were not primarily written by Kubo."

Really though, it just peeves me that up until this point the filler arcs were given more respect than the LNs. Kubo had direct oversight into the Zanpakutou spirit designs, for example, and those are treated as "canon," but when he provides the same oversight into lore-changing information it suddenly becomes unacceptable? Check your bias perhaps?

I guess I should say thanks for finally uploading LN content to this wiki but honestly, you guys missed the boat a year ago when the chapters first started coming out. The fact that the fanbase is in an uproar and has been for some time now is proof of that. The damage has been done.

There is a term in the legal world called "beyond a reasonable doubt." Basically in this case, we can say that you could spend all day trying to disprove that something is canon, or you can look at the burden of reasonable proof that something has been confirmed to be canon. The word of the author himself and the oversight he provided Narita for both Can't Fear your Own World and We Do Knot Always Love You is substantial enough to be counted as "beyond reasonable doubt" to most people. That's all I'll say.
