Woah, woah. You're right in identifying that an inclusion debate full of authors is kind of an odd situation, though you appear to have overlooked my non-authorial (well, non-Doctor Who authorial) contribution. But:

Amorkuz wrote: So what will happen if these three stories, which, according to Wylder, are "[s]et in the same universe as [Wylder's] popular novel 10,000 Dawns" (= not in DWU), what will happen if they become valid? Apparently, anyone will be able to get their story on the wiki by asking Wylder to borrow his character.

No, no, no, no. From the start, what has been proposed is to treat the short stories in question as crossovers. For the purposes of these stories, and theses stories alone, the DWU and the "Dawns Universe" become synonymous; but that association ends with the licenses involved. In much the same way that for the length of Assimilation^2, the narrative exists in both the DWU and in the Star Trek universe, but this does not mean we cover subsequent stories about Picard which treat his Assimilation^2 experiences as having happened to him. For that matter, this is the reasoning that invalidated The Body in Question: it clearly considers that Death's Head's DWU experiences happened to him, but it no longer has licensed DWU elements, so we don't cover it.
