Is "The Super Panhandler of Metropolis" imaginary?[]

I see that "The Super Panhandler of Metropolis" was noted as an Imaginary Story way back in 2007. But is it? It's not marked as an Imaginary Story anywhere in the issue -- although the opening caption does mention (and bold) the words 'imaginary day'. It is non-canon, but that's because it's set 20-ish years in the future, so it doesn't need to be imaginary. It seem to me to be just as valid a future as the ones seen in Superman Family #200 or the Superman XX stories, and we don't mark those as Imaginary Stories.
So, unless it's on an official list of Imaginary Stories somewhere (which is possible), I recommend we remove all the notes about it being an Imaginary Story and replace them with notes about it being set in the future. Any objections?... Shadzane 💀 (talk) 19:32, October 24, 2017 (UTC)

Never mind! At the very end of part two the story (in the next issue), it does say it is an Imaginary Story! So that's where it comes from. I'm not sure why, creatively, it was necessary, but there you go! Shadzane 💀 (talk) 19:41, October 24, 2017 (UTC)
