Ok, here's my thought. What appears on the DVD has been selected by the Powers that Be at OUaT. I feel fairly confident in saying that there is much more work that ends up on the cutting room floor than is shown. Plus, many (though not all) of the deleted scenes actually have been through not only the filiming, but much of the post production (CGI has been filled in, sound track scored, etc). I look at the Deleted Scenes that come with the DVD as a sort of "Director's Cut" (It would be interesting to see these scenes in full context of their respective episodes). So basically, the Deleted scenes on the DVD are the ones that Adam, Eddy, Jane, and the rest of the Once staff feel are important enough to include.

One question to ask is why the scenes included were chosen. And unfortunatly, I can see the arguments for both sides.

From a personal point of view, I think the decision to consider deleted scenes on the DVD as canon is up to the viewer. From a WIKI standpoint, since many people coming may or may not have seen the deleted scenes, we should consider the deleted scenes as Non-Canon. We can still present the information, we just need to be clear that the source of information from a deleted scene is not considered canon. This goes for the deleted scenes already presented from Season 4 (there are like 3-4 scenes that were aired on Good Morning America).

So basically, if a scene was deleted, but is made public by trustworthy means (DVD, "Clip Show", Good Morning America, etc), we can provide the information with a disclaimer. Anything else should not be mentioned.
