For me, all deleted scenes are canon (they were in the original script and were filmed), and they were probably all cut due to time. However, because they were cut, they are much easier to retcon, and I don't nessicarily believe they should be included in the appearences template, unless they get there own label of "deleted". I'd also like to point out, the "we didn't see it, so it didn't happen" argument is not a great one. We didn't see Robin Hood and Maid Marian get married, or the birth of Roland, so I guess none of those things happened? No, things can happen off screen, and still be canon. It's called deductive reasoning.

Your point is not valid. Yes, we did not see robin's and marian's wedding or roland's birth. But these events were mentionned at a moment in the show, so we know they happened at a moment so they are canon. The difference with the deleted scenes is, even if they were filmed and in the original script, they did not appear in the episode or are not mentionned at a moment. Like Regina's meeting with Ingrid, it did not appear in an episode, and it is not mentionned in one episode. So we can't say it happened, so it is not canon :) Well, we can't say it happened, but my point is we also can't say it didn't happen. Based on Regina's freak out when she saw Owen and Kurt, we have to assume something along the lines of the deleted scene with Ingrid happened, or we have a plot hole. And I still think that deleted scenes happen, just off screen, unless we get something that contridicts them. That all being said, we don't need to put the deleted scenes in the actual plot summaries or anything, because if they were that important, they wouldn't have been selected to be deleted in the first place.
