OttselSpy brought up a similar suggestion before, but did so carelessly and thus it was shot down on the grounds that his opening post had several factual mistakes. What was done with The Infinity Doctors was done only because the creator actually went out and stated that he considers it an alternate timeline to the Prime Whoniverse.

This is a different matter than the Cushingverse and its fellows. In the case of the Dalek Movies, though there is a small, tiny sliver of suggestion in later sources that it's set in a parallel universe, the original intent — the one I'm calling forward here — is that it was not, in any way, shape or form, related to the Doctor Who Multiverse previously shown. We must be careful not to conflate "another dimension within the same multiverse" (which is what Infinity Doctor is, and what, according to some people, the Unbound stories might be ), with "another continuity" as in an unrelated canon within the same IRL franchise.

e.g. I entirely support the idea of letting there be a "differently valid" section for the Dalek Movies, and any other works which we can place within the same framework. But it can't be done based on the precedent of the Infinity Doctors timeline.

What we're dealing with is a new bit of policy that needs drafting, from the ground up.
