ETA: Similar arguments apply to canons which are very closely based on real events, e.g. The Crown.
I don't think I fully understand it - could you please clarify? So, canons that are fictionalized adaptations of real-world events are not allowed, because to answer worldbuilding questions about them would be to say either "This is what happened in the real world" (a borderline type of fic) or "This is how these specific iterations of the characters would deal with a problem" and that doesn't seem to fit the spirit of worldbuilding to you? Or do you mean something else?
Disclaimer - I am unlikely to request these sorts of canons, so I hope I am not taking your time unnecessarily, but I would like to be sure I understand the meaning.
