Introduction
"Death of the Author is a concept from mid-20th Century literary criticism; it holds that an author's intentions and biographical facts (the author's politics, religion, etc) should hold no special weight in determining an interpretation of their writing. This is usually understood as meaning that a writer's views about their work are no more or less valid than the interpretations of any given reader. Intentions are one thing. What was accomplished might be something very different. The logic behind the concept is fairly simple: Books are meant to be read, not written, so the ways readers interpret them are as important and "real" as the author's intention. On the flip side, a lot of authors are unavailable or unwilling to comment on their intentions, and even when they are, they don't always make choices for reasons that make sense or are easily explainable to others (or sometimes even to themselves)."
How it is used here
As Death of the Author is a concept made from mid-20th Century literary criticisms, it is not a fallacy nor an official term for debunking or disproving an author, it's an idea someone had.
However, this does not mean the wiki subscribes to the idea that the author is completely omniscient in their work. Perfect examples are if an author claims a character is not superhuman, while the narrative itself through story shows the character is indeed superhuman, then we must abide by what the narrative says and disagree with the author on the character not being superhuman.
