How ironic that source has been denied by Konami itself barely a couple of days ago, stating that Kojima di not left yet and will most likely not do that anytime soon lol (hard to believe, but they still said that).

Anyway, is not a matter of who can decide or not. Or better, kinda is. But still is not me, you, no one. And because the imminent (if not already happened, better give Konami the benefit of the doubt imho) exit of Kojima, most likely without the royalties on the franchise, even his word could pass for ambiguous when it comes to canon or not. However, I do believe that this flame will come to an end anyway, and we'll come up with a real decision out of our personal feels or wishes, like a community is supposed to: work togheter. Now, considering the edit war in pages like Template:KeyEvents and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (which has even been protected, hundreds of rollbacks in few days and people insulting each other) is still going, and apparently I'm the only one who believes the community can come to a final decision without flaming more, at this point I feel like giving up. But at least make consistency between the contents, you can't list PO as a non-canon game but tagging San Hieronymo Incident as a canon event, same as why half of the Revengeance events are tagged as non-canon and the other half as canon. I mean, that's not only confusing, but also incoherent.
