Was just reading up on that archived discussion, and I have to ask: why is [[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]] still regarded as canon when [[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]] has also been established as fictional like EastEnders?

: The above statement is inaccurate. As the official [[T:CANON|canon policy]] states, this wiki has no canon. In particular, ''[[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]]'' is not canon. Note also that some of the old discussions still operate in the times when canon existed. So reading them now may be a bit confusing in relation to the current rules. Stories are considered valid when they pass the [[T:VS|four validity rules]]. Please also be aware of [[T:BOUND]]: a validity discussion should not be reopened unless you have some piece of information that has not been discussed in the original discussion. Finally, regarding fictional characters, there is a place for them in DWU: it's called the [[Land of Fiction]]. So being fictional does not automatically disqualify a character/story. What matters is whether it is properly integrated with the DWU as a whole. If there is an explanation of how they are related, the story can (but don't have to) be valid.
