My opinion and thought is that Gideon is who he is now, for better or worse, and will not be de-aged. Agreed.... it would be a disservice to all the characters, if Gideon is de-aged. I side with him being deaged (over killed) according to what we know so far. Emma was never deaged for many reasons:

1. She is the main character and this is largely her story (in this ensemble show).

2. She has Henry and Snow and David will never take that away from her.

Gideon has a great chance of being deaged because so far, he's not someone that warrants to stay as is. It's very likely that he'll agree (or forcibly by his father) and he'll be a child once more. It's not a disservice for any character any more than the red shirts that get killed. We don't cry out over their minute death, but when a core memeber dies, we all feel it. The only way he'd stay the way he is is if he doesn't object. August was childified and adultified without express permission and I'm fine with either way. Pinocchio was perfect for Gepetto, while he's now August likely because his body can't handle these constant changes, according to Blue. And Rumple is going to Rumple, so I have no clue what he'd do, but he didn't change Neal back, but he did offer (and he's worse now than before).
