Well, the Rumple's father one wasn't because his father wasn't actually dead. So, I guess all could be canon except that one.

But also, why did Rumple take Rip's knife, lol random? No, that deleted scene was never released on any of the DVDs and Blu-Rays. It was only talked about on the official podcast, but never released. Chances are they chose not to release it because they decided it wasn't going to be canon.

As for the knife, it's the knife that he gives Baelfire at the start of Nasty Habits' flashback. Baelfire even asks "Did you get it from another person you terrorized?" Oh, okay! Then all cut scenes are canon, then.

Oh, okay. I was wondering how it involved the Pied Piper, lol. So, I guess Rip Van Wrinkle also existed back in Rumple's time. Well no. Only the cut scenes that are released on the DVD and Blu-Ray (along with possibly the ones they releases from the Frozen arc) are canon. The unreleased deleted scenes like the one with Rumple and his dad remain uncanon.
