Talk:Global Conspiracy? (home video)

NOTVALID?
I don't understand why this is labelled NOTVALID. It's definitely intended to be funny, and some of the details don't match other stories, but neither of those is a reason. Is it supposed to be like The Curse of Fatal Death? It doesn't seem to be a parody, just a funny sequel. Fwhiffahder ☎  23:53, December 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * I was going to suggest that in cases like this, where individual, stand-alone "stories" are in question, it's best to ask the editor who put the invalid tag, as some of these cases aren't covered in Tardis:Valid sources and it can be hard to find any discussion on the subject. It turns out I'm the one who added the tag (almost two years ago), and though I obviously can't remember why, it is most likely because the creator of the page gave it Category:Parodies and pastiches, which are NOTVALID.

 * Should it be recategorized and have the NOTVALID notice removed, then? Fwhiffahder ☎  03:07, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * We still have to consider Rule 4. I don't know about authorial intent, but reviews and such seem to consistently call it a spoof or parody.
 * ...Oh yeah, and so does the BBC:
 * Global Conspiracy? (11 mins) Spoof written by and starring Mark Gatiss
 * Also, it seems from these searches, and from that BBC Shop page, that this is actually called Global Conspiracy?. 03:42, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * The title card indeed calls this "Global Conspiracy?". 03:43, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
