It works based on what’s presented by the show and the writers. So, if the writers said Emma’s middle name was Frosty then it would be so. (Joking of course). The problem is that no one said Anastasia is NOT based on the Disney film. No one ever said that. So, we don't know. And these kind of discussions are always up to the community. If the community wants it, it can change. Just like how we recently changed the Dark Curse problem. Yeah, community decision.

Though, you just essentially said “No one said Ana is not based on the Disney film” and coupled with “Noone said Ana is based on the Disney film” (other argument of those on the thread) then we should put it as an allusion.

I’m not going to go and prove a negative nor should the wiki.

If the options are:

Based on (Which you say is unknown either way)

Allusion

Trivia

Then the only real options are Allusion or Trvia. I don’t see any reason why we can’t go with allusion. I get people love the character, but if based on is invalid, then we should go with allusion.

As was said earlier, the discussion isn’t “Is it based on or not?” It is “Is it Based on or Allusion?” Allusion isn’t the opposite of based on, it simply means that there isn’t enough to say based on.
