Keeping in mind that here we aren't talking about whether an entire story is valid, but rather whether certain elements are, rule #2 states that "a story that isn't commercially licensed by all of the relevant copyright holders doesn't count". Note the word "all". Big Finish, the publisher of Short Trips: The History of Christmas, doesn't have a license to publish works including BBC Wales Doctors. Therefore, The Gift cannot, per this wiki's rules, include Nine and up.

That doesn't mean other stories can't state those Doctors were at the funeral, and it doesn't mean that you personally can't believe those Doctors were at the funeral; it just means that we can't use The Gift as a source to say that Nine and up were at the funeral. So what you're arguing is that The Gift was not licensed by the BBC?
