Is very minor stuff like this still canon?[]
God knows how many stub articles about cities and villages in Daggerfall. FlamingSnow122 (talk) 03:51, May 19, 2020 (UTC)
- "Canon" does not exist in The Elder Scrolls in a meaningful way: see here. Actually, the concept is useless in just about any artistic work ever, but that is beside the point. We do not choose to document articles based on their "canonicity" because the term is shockingly ill-defined, meaning something different to everyone who uses it. We instead determine this based on the content's licensing status, i.e. whether it is copyrighted by a ZeniMax Media Company, or stated by someone who works for such a company. Everything that is in a published game is copyrighted as such. We have an additional set of criteria to document unlicensed content if it is noteworthy, e.g. if a former employee publishes a work, we might document that, but not something from a normal fan.
- The question you're asking should not be about canon but instead about notability. We have a lot of stub articles on Daggerfall locations, but they're not doomed to be stubs forever. These locations do actually have static shops, which is what we typically record under them. For example, the Aldshire page. None of the towns are actually that special, but because they're static, we make it our eventual goal to document information about all of them. A pipe dream, perhaps, but something we can work toward nonetheless. —Atvelonis (talk) 14:29, May 19, 2020 (UTC)
