>From this definition 
A single-lens reflex camera (SLR) typically uses a mirror and prism system 
(hence "reflex", from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to 
view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured. 
Source: Wiki

I see there used to be a mirror (been a long time user too). But the main point 
is that it " permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly 
what will be captured ". 

I was a one time user of RFs, and all I could see was the lens through the VF 
(the fuji X-Pro included) ;-)

So from the definition and the purpose of the nowobsolete technology, any 
camera offering more than that is a bonus and qualifies for me, note that I 
wrote for me, as a DSLR, be it mirrorless or not ;-)
