The simple solution is to take Cullen Bunn at his word and assume if it is Wade Wilson (Earth-616), then it's intended to have taken place on Battleworld during Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars. Or it's a counterpart of Wade on Doom's Battleworld during this most recent Secret Wars. I just read that interview and he never actually says that this is 616 Deadpool or that it takes place in 616 or any of that.

Maybe I'm overthinking it because the actual book has the 2015 Secret Wars branding and what not, but I still think that his wording "it will become canon" hints to it not having been canon before, meaning history was changed when Battleworld was destroyed (which we can see with Miles having seemingly always lived in 616, when both he and us know it not to be so).
