Does the inclusion of Pan in BoG validate GT?

Well, we all (probably) know that Pan is mentioned in Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods, she is inside the womb of Videl. She is Gohans daughter, who appears in Dragonball GT.

Well, simple logical deduction says this:

Dragonball GT is said not to be canon
Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods is canon because Akira Toriyama said so
Pan is first mentioned in Dragonball GT
Pan is mentioned in the (canon) movie of Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods and plays a fairly critical role considering Goku needs her to go SSG

Therefore...Dragonball GT is canon? At least Pan? I mean, how does that work?

Woah woah woah. Who said Pan didn't exist before GT? She was most definitely a character in Z. She fought some big human during the World Martial Arts tournament and kicked his butt. She also flew around the planet and was shown to be only young character who was not a slacker and was interested in training.

In short, Pan existed before GT and the her appearance in Battle of the Gods does not make GT canon.

We also see Pan after the Boo arc at the 28th Budokai (and a lil before that), so in the end it's the same as Goku/Vegeta/Gohan and all those guys appearing in GT.

I'd say it validates her being a pure powerful Saiyan like the others despite the diluted blood and it validates the fact she is older than Bra which was always debated

The hell? Are we jus... what are we?
Huh?
I... I assumed that GT existing and not being a fan work validate's GT's existance enough.

As much as I'm gonna get hate for this, I think of Dragon Ball in a similar manner to Star Wars. There are several levels of Canon. G Canon (The Movies and George Lucas interviews), T Canon (Television Canon, Specifically Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Live Action TV Series [Title Pending]). C-Canon (Expanded Universe Video Games, Comics, Novels, Computer Stories, Etc.), S Canon (Older C-Canon that is currently directly contradicted by T-Canon and/or G-Canon.) and N-Canon (Non Cannon, the Infinities universes)

Same deal. Battle of Gods, the DBZ Movies, Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Online had an equivelent amount of imput from Akira Toriyama and he's credited as "The Original Author" in all of the works. Aka, he was the author that came up with the original idea. Not nessecarily that he was the writer across the board. Hell, he did as much concept art for GT as he did for the Broly Trilogy and for Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Online. So by that logic, they're all on a T-canon so to speak. A level below G-Canon (Or I suppose AT Canon in this regard). I dunno, what do we all think?

BOG makes me think AT is finally ready to draw Pan and Bulla as SSJs.

And Bulla needs a tail, Goku can pop one out on his first try but Vegeta who has more pure saiyan blood can't?
