Well, the page itself defines Doctor-lite and Companion-lite as "a classification of stories in which the Doctor and/or his companions are deliberately de-emphasised in the narrative." I would argue that "The Crimson Horror" easily fits that definition. The Doctor and Clara are trapped and need the help of others to escape. Thus the Paternoster gang are brought in as the focus of the episode (at least initially). If that's not de-empasizing the Doctor and his companion, then clearly, the phrase "de-empasized" is meaningless. :D
