"Home releases" is simply using 13 characters where the ten of "home media" would do. It's just more letters for no greater clarity. (If anything, it's a little less clarity because the original "home release" is the one that comes through initial broadcast. The word media implies you're talking about a "piece of media", a physically discrete thing.)

Also, novelisations have already been moved off classic series pages. I don't see any use in putting "a couple of sentences" back onto the pages.

What I think this project is moving us towards is complete elimination of info about home releases in the body of the article. As we've done with novelisations, all we'll do is have a link to home media prominently at the top of the infobox.

As for audio, I think there might be some confusion between SOTO and Mini-mitch as to the definition of the word audiobook. The "audiobook" of the whole soundtrack (i.e., music + dialogue) of The Tenth Planet would go on The Tenth Planet (home media). The "audiobook" of someone reading Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet would go on that page as just another form of the novelisation.
