Reminder: Please don't VTRO or bring the "meta effect" onto the linked question until a consensus is reached about the true scope of fandom information.
From the Help Center > Asking:
What topics can I ask about here?
Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange is for questions targeted towards science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts. This includes questions about:
- Plot, character, or setting explanations
- Historical or societal context of a work
- Behind-the-scenes and fandom information
- Story identification
- Franchise/series reading or viewing order
So, fandom information is clearly on topic but can we clarify the scope of it?
This question has mainly come about after I saw this question (currently closed), the discussion in its comments and its timeline:
- Close review: Leave Open x 3
- Close review: Leave Open x 3
- Close review: Close × 2, Leave Open × 1
After a read of the question I would probably agree it's off topic. It's not related to the work apart from a group of friends, who all are/were a part of the same show, going to a wedding. However, should it actually be on topic? Where do we draw the line with fandom information?
Just to clarify my question is the general title "What is the scope of fandom information?" I am just using the linked question as a recent example of something that was clearly dividing the community.
