Site policy is that all valid sources count. The four little rules we use to determine whether something counts do not in any way include a value judgment on whether a story is "sufficiently consistent" with other stories.

All that is required for us to count a story is that it meet those four rules. Lungbarrow does, without question. So Lungbarrow is valid.

See how easy that is?

The way we handle this, or any other apparent contradiction, is remarkably simple. We just do something like this:


 * "According to one account, Time Lords emerged from what were called "looms" as fully grown adults and were biologically related to each other only at the level of cousins. (PROSE: Lungbarrow) Other sources held, however, that Time Lords were biologic procreators, and therefore had children and familial relationships comparable to humans. Indeed the most significant moral issue in front of the War Doctor as he decided whether to burn Gallifrey at the end of the Last Great Time War was the number of children that he was going to kill. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

It's easy to deal with apparent contradictions, so there's no problem at all in saying that all media will be treated equally.

Please do not edit contrary to this founding principle.
