Talk:Have You Seen The Aliens Terms and Conditions (feature)

Short story?
Being very careful here to avoid T:SPOIL, but wondering why this is classed as a short story. Seems more that these are terms and conditions for an upcoming promotional event. I think, if the page is needed at all, it should be focused on the event itself (similar to #FindTheDoctor) rather than just the terms and conditions page. Either way, I think this needs a spoiler warning considering it relates to promotion for series 13 and especially considering this event is just getting started. Similarly, we now already have a page for 0800 678 3110, which as far as I'm aware was not mentioned in the terms and conditions but rather appears in various locations as part of the event itself. Think this also needs a dicussion as to whether it is or isn't a valid source. 66 Seconds ☎  15:05, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that this may not be the best way to cover this. I personally think that the voicemail you hear if you phone 0800 678 3110 is probably deserving of its own page, valid short story or otherwise, but I also feel that it's probably too early to decide for definite. It was also probably be a good idea to give the interruptions that have been appearing on BBC One and, more recently, on billboards their own page, although the fact they have a few variants makes that sort of tricky. Once again, it might be worth waiting and seeing if a 'definitive', completely un-staticky, version appears. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎  16:47, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I've deleted it for now, because of spoiler concerns, but in the meantime it can be discussed without breaking Tardis:Spoiler policy. Shambala108 ☎  16:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I do think this Terms and Conditions thing will deserve a page in the fullness of time; it's not actually a real terms & condition page — it's written from an in-universe point of view, acting as though the Doctor is a real person employed by BBC Studios. As to whatever it should be valid — well, if the event it ties in with is real, it could be argued that it's a commercial, and thus an story on those grounds.


 * Or perhaps some might think that, fictional or not, it isn't precisely narrative — which would eliminate it under Rule 1 of T:VS. If so the page should be recreated without that "(short story)" dab, and placed in Category:Non-DWU features. We shall see.


 * Regardless, I agree that not implementing coverage of it (valid or otherwise) until after Series 13 debuts is wise. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 17:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
