But should they get the WR? That's the real question. I say yes.

No, because they're different events. What that means is that that solve wasn't done during a 3x3x3 speedsolve round, which means it's basically unofficial with respect to that event. It's the same as if you get a sub-WR solve in practice right before the solves. Allowing stuff like that (or, similarly, records in OH/BLD/FMC/feet for people who feel like doing that during 3x3x3 speedsolve) would be unfair to all the people who only get a certain number of attempts.

So...has anyone noticed that Faz held the 4BLD world record at one point?

Your attention to the WCA record page has come about four years too late :P

Edit: I think I remember when he did a commentary with someone a while ago who asked him what his most memorable record was, or something along those lines, and he said probably the 4BLD because even he didn't expect it.
 
I feel like Feliks is actually better at the two handed cubic events than the world record list shows. In 3x3, everyone knows he's the best and he has 19 out of the top 20 averages, but doesn't have the single world record. In 4x4, Weyer has both world records, even though Feliks has 6 of the top 10 results in both single and average. In 5x5, Feliks is dominant; no need to list stats. In 6x6, Hays has an average that's slightly better, and the top 10 results is spread fairly evenly. Nowhere near out of reach for Feliks. In 7x7, Feliks has both records, and they're pretty out of reach for the rest of the world.

I'm not just being a Feliks fanboy. :p Objectively, Feliks seems better than the number of world records he has. He's unquestionably the best in every event where he has the world record, and in the ones where he doesn't (4x4 and 6x6) best in the world is much closer between Feliks and the WR holders. Feliks seems more likely to gain records in 4x4 and 6x6 than to lose records in 5x5 or 7x7.

EDIT: also worth noting: Kevin did hold all four 6x6/7x7 records, for about 20 minutes. :P It's been quite a while since that happened, if ever, so congrats for that.
