Talk:Sontaran (The Continuity Cap)

Deletion
This page should be deleted because the Sontaran was not part of this story but was instead scattered around the DWA magazine as part of a competition. I think we should be able to look at the context of its inclusion and deem it not officially part of the story so this page should be deleted and references to the Sontaran's appearance here should be removed from the history of Sontaran and the character list at The Continuity Cap.

 * I'm not sure, the Sontaran's appearance was an actual part of the comic, even if only placed their for a contest. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  22:26, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Regardless whether or not that is your stance the Sontaran in question was confirmed by the magazine to be Skorr so an entirely separate page for an unnamed Sontaran is not needed. I totally disagree that it was part of the story, just like if an advertisement appeared alongside a comic we wouldn't include that as part of the narrative.

 * But it wasn't separated in the slightest from the comic - I do think that it may be more appropriate to document at Skorr, but I don't think we should exclude something that was printed in the original comic, even if it's outrageous. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  22:35, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Whenever a title card appears we don't pretend that it is canon to the story "and suddenly a giant block of text floats past the main characters displaying the names of DWA magazine writers and artists" because we know what it is there for. Why would we do that with this? It was placed there as part of a competition and we were told as much beforehand. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  22:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure a logo & credits appearing are really comparable to an image of a Sontaran appearing within the strip, in a scenario that makes some sense. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  15:15, 21 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Absolutely they are comparable, they are both out-of-universe pieces of material contained within the four walls of a comic story. You stated that it was part of the story because it was printed inside the comic ("I don't think we should exclude something that was printed in the original comic"), I showed you an example of material that is presented inside the comic which isn't part of the story.
