Pardon the lengthy nom If you just take a cursory look at the page, it may seem full enough to warrant it's own article. The fact is though, that "Non-canon" is merely a word that has no inherent encyclopedic value. This article is a dicdef--when I found it, the article claimed that "non-canon" is a term used only for anime, but I knew this wasn't true so I attempted to add some information about Biblical non-canon texts, and, reluctantly, Star Wars. But then I realized that I am merely adding examples to a dicdef. The section about anime and manga is merely an explanation about how some stories or comics are "non-canon". It's as if I edited the article for green and added a section about how grass and dollar bills are green. This makes no sense, becasue that information belongs in their respective articles (Grass and dollar). Correspondingly, the anime information belongs in the Anime article. (Or perhaps Dragonball Z.) Articles about words (as opposed to Proper nouns) should explain the definition, nature, and intricacies of the word, and not its existence or occurence in outside phenomena.
