Even if it were less speculative, it wouldn't be an example of Lawyer-Friendly Cameo because the purported originals are real people, not copyrighted fictional characters.

Yeah, cut the example, its No Celebrities Were Harmed, IIRC, not Lawyer-Friendly Cameo.

It is the Whately Universe example in Literature. Not counting that Whately Universe is not fiction, the entry itself feels like it needs working:
Fanon has agreed that Fantastico and his group the Good Ol' Boyz (the G.O.B.) in the Whateley Universe are George W. Bush and his cabinet and staff, but with superpowers. It's pretty obvious, since Fantastico is a Texan named Bert Walker Jr. and he's even used some famous George Bush lines. The weird part is that the author writes Phase as a millionaire who is a serious Republican and fiscal conservative, and defends those positions. It's possible that the author is a serious Republican and fiscal conservative... who hates Bush. (Not unheard of: GWB was not a fiscal conservative, and was highly unpopular among certain kinds of Republicans by the end of his second term.)
