Wait. There is no "purge".Once again, in actual play and prep it doesn't matter for me, since I don't implement the lore purge.
Each table can and should use the lore that is true at that table.
Now, novels, movies, videogames, and other media count as different gaming tables. This is what they are, exactly, anyway. Something that happens in a videogame may or may not have happened in ones own table.
Meanwhile, there are official rules that clarify what lore one can expect at any table, and these are the core rulebooks. Perhaps by extension, all the media that refer to an official setting can be expected to be found in the official setting guide for that setting, as a kind of setting core book.
Compare the Eberron setting. It is more Important to talk about "my Eberron", the lore that is true at "my table". But there are also considerable expansions of lore that the authorship of Eberron, including Baker, develops for their tables, that one may wish to adopt for "my table".
All of this handling of lore is the way it has always been. The official position is to make clear what lore the various tables are likely to share in common.
