And if we don't have a page about this on the basis of "it was never reworked," why should we have a page about Spider Dalek, which is just an unreworked bit of a TV movie that never was? This is separate from questions of licensing. Laying the question of Rule 2 aside, I see no reason not to cover the "prose extract" as an invalid "(short story)" in much the way we cover Friend from the Future. One way or another, Harness decided to release it, cut off from the rest of the novelisation-that-never-was-and-may-never-have-been-going-to-be.

I have yet again to ask you for a clear, non-arbitrary reason why we should believe Harness on his claim of presenting old production material, but not Shearman.
