Interesting question. The idea of "canon" is not really definitive. Some people think something from the estate of the original author makes it canon, but some are more strict to define it as stuff only authored directly by the creator or explicitly sanctioned by them either by a statement while alive or written down by them directly.

It's not clear how much original material Unification will actually have, though.

Not currently, to my knowledge, but that's partly because the Archive is still largely in its infancy and hasn't reached a point where the question of answering whether it should be or not was deemed necessary.

Seems to me that might change soon though.

So with that said...I personally would be hesitant about considering them canon, given the quibbly nature and association with the greater franchise the archive itself currently is in...but at the same time I wouldn't be against it if the greater fandom is for it too.

Probably not

"Considered" by whom?

Canon is open for definition.

But well, as you are asking in the Memory Alpha forum, the Memory Alpha canon applies, which is defined here.

So, the answer is no. The Roddenberry Archive is not canon inside MA.

The majority of the fandom, I'm thinking.

I know, I know, you aren't one for these sort of debates, and I respect that, but it's probably a valid question to be asking at this point, where the rest of the fandom stands on the canonicity of the Roddenberry Archive--it's gonna have to be done at some point for (ironically) archival reasons.

@Hurga

The original version, but I'll leave it as is anyway for the sake of the record and all.
