Okay so, talion asked me to advocate for him because he was kind enough to share info with me re. his source.
He does have a source. This source does not make Talion's word gospel, nor is his source infallible.
So my advice is to not outright ignore Talion. What he says re. spider-man casting is worth listening to, but IMO should not be the only thing that guides conversation on here.
Finally, whatever talion knows at time of writing is more or less exactly what we as a community know regarding spider-man casting. This may of course change in the future pending additional info from talion's source.
I think we should be open to competing viewpoints on here and should respect rational arguments, even if they turn out wrong.
THat's basically whatihave been assuming. Feel free to not answer this if you can't, but is his source someone who works at marvel, or a reporter? Obviously if it is a marvel worker it would not be someone higher up, which would collaborate that the person does not speak words of the God's.

I've said it before, I truly believe he has sources, but I don't trust his sources because not only have I not seen them, but because Talion has a reputation for trusting sources that should not be trusted 100% of the time. Now you have confirmed my stance, without losing talions trust, or revealing anything secret.

Thank you for being a messenger!
The funny thing is we are going back and forth and Peter Parker is in all likelihood already cast.
As for the list, my take is the original tweet (from someone reputable) simply stated that there is a short list of 5 actors, Schneider then phone around and listed the names his sources had mentioned the most rather than listing the actual shortlist.
If several sources are mentioning the same names there is probably sometime in it but at the same time the 5 actors aren't necessarily the final 5 the original tweeter mentioned.
Exactly! Even a Dylan-O-Hater can see what I mean! It isn't that Sneider isnt' trustworthy, its that when he makes it clear that his list is not official, we can only trust that... his list is not official. If anything we must credit Sneider to be able to believe him that his list isn't official!
This place will be unbearable when Spider-Man is eventually cast and the actor isn't DOB.
But fear not, all will not be lost. In Back to the Future Eric Stoltz was brought in because Michael J Fox had commitments but after a few shots the filmmakers decided that Stoltz wasn't working out and so waited for MJF. So if DOB isn't cast don't give up, the person cast may SUCK during filming and DOB may STILL get in.
You are kinda streatching it... sarcasm to make us 'Dylan lovers' think it's stupid to think he is in? Or just showing that even the craziest things can happen to allow a fan fav actor in?
According to some random dude:
Apparently, what with Spider-Man having a larger role than just a cameo in CW, Dylan's schedule with other films has become less than ideal.
I may or may not have made this up
Sneider has made the claim that spider-man will have a cemeo. I trust Sneider 100% so I will believe the spidey-cameo. (I kid... obviously he will have a bigger role than a cameo.

they had a whole alternate script with him)
He showed screen shots of correspondence between him and his source. It's honestly nothing earth shattering, but it's from a source (of sorts) all the same.
The thing is I personally can't just trust a source that I know isn't 100% accurate, and base my conversation on that source. Especially if I don't even know if the source has an ounce of accuracy. (I assume the source is in between, slightly towards the accurate side, which means it is a trustworthy reporter who has overheard some unofficial talk.)
Not trying to offend you at all. We still love you, all of you, every version of you, every clone of you that logs on... Every alter ego.
Exactly! We love harry no matter what phase, gas, liquid, or solid! Or even if he's a polymer! (Probably most likely IYKWIM)
