Well, I gave it some thought and would like to thank all of those involved in the conversation throughout by giving opinions and insight.

I have decided that we will trust the album's content and include them in articles, for several reasons that were discussed in the thread, so I will brush over those:

In general, it's highly unlikely for fan to copy/past albums they claim to own verbatum (even formatting them like that) into text for other fans if they don't actually own it; that or its the most overdone, convulted troll attempt done multiple times by different people.

mothy's also advertised several of his albums as continuing the story "started" with Evils Theater, and we know booklets came with all these albums. With that in mind, what's present in Evils Theater isn't anything new or unbelievable (though the source said they were surprised).

On an individual case, we have albums like Evils Forest that we can confirm at least one page is true. The source divides everything by its page number so if the first is right, why not the rest?

Content-wise, nothing completely significant is added; Forest is basically just Ma pulling Evils Kingdom stuff in a forest (as well as acknowledging herself as the Gardener... which would've been nice context for MotG song earlier!).

Prelude adds a few neat tidbits, one filling in the origin of the graveyard but nothing substantially mindblowing; Court of Greed is simply confirming in general something we already had lots of hints and evidence of regarding Ma.

The only major things this is going to change is Appearances, as these booklets indicate some characters appeared earlier than we previously thought.

All this said, my policy still remains unchanged. We need scans to not only lay to rest any doubts about our albums (or most things we post) but to help find and correct any typose. Just  because we trust the posters of these booklets are telling the truth, doesn't mean they couldn't have made a few errors while typing it up.

The only exception I am making is OSS -Act 1-. While I have no issue with us posting its information, we should first run it through a discussion thread and reexamine apparent inconsistencies between it and Act 2, while also validating it.

On the flip side, we have some more projects coming up. Since we know the next Deadly Sins of Evil installment is coming within the next few months, it's important we catch up on polishing this wiki as much as possible before we get swamped with even more info dumps to sort through.

Alright, the morning wall of text is over everyone. You can go about your business.
