That defeats the purpose of it being a timeline because it wouldn't show when any anime events happen relative to the novels. It's first and foremost intended to be a timeline, not a comprehensive list of all canon works hence why they put manga chapters 1 and 700 on it but not any of the chapters inbetween. Now you are grasping at straws. The purpose of a timeline is to tell the viewer when events happen. If it is not on the timeline, they didnt happen.

If the naruto Anime was on the list then filler being canon would be a somewhat valid argument but it is not. Veey specifically the manga is referenced. Not the anime. Chapters. Not episodes.
