AFwS ends with a fourth wall break, with the Doctor meeting with Saville and the cast reverting back to actors. If that scene wasn't there, I have no doubt we'd consider the story valid -- but that story removes any chances of such a take. The Dalek Films are invalid simply because they are not meant to match with the Doctor Who continuum, but aren't made clear as to if the story is an alternate reality, timeline, or just not a story that's 'within the bounds.' The films are a full narrative which stays to being a story without breaking the bounds. Basically we're one template and a few changed categories from the films being valid.

Even if we don't decide to elevate Dr Who out of the invalid cat, I would say that the collection is enough to expand his page to note his "alternate dimension" status.
