I'm tired of this. My main objection is that it was changed without proper discussion after having had a ruling established by an admin (moi).

I disagree that external sources are being cited, WV uses in-property canons. Technically Arrowverse is a subset of DC properties, but we keep it separate just like any DC (sub-identified title) property is kept separate. For example, there is a difference between DC comics' Earth-2 and the TV Arrowverse Earth-2 with characters based from the comics versions. Marvel and DC have long had Crossover Events and (excluding Amalgam) often in-story gave no explanation other than, for example, Superman had never gone to NYC and thus was meeting Spiderman for the first time. We don't make all the rest of Marvel and DC as a shared multiverse from those comic events.

Basically, if a character of one show cannot physically walk or drive a car to another show, they are not a shared universe. By definition, all "multiverses" are one multiverse, we still draw lines of separation. Arrowverse Earth-2 is an exception as there is no show based there, unlike Supergirl which has its own show.

The 1980 Flash series was spied during this Flash's multidimensional jog which lead to the first Supergirl crossover event (and needing to call the crossovers "events" is another clue), but we don't go tagging the Shippley (actor) Flash villains as "Arrowverse" either.

But I'm done. I have other—literal—headaches to deal with without keeping a dog in this fight. Decide what you will.
