The Dalek Chronicles isn't called that because that was "fan consensus", it's called that because they were officially renamed as such in the 1994 re-release. "VNAs" is such a common acronym because of this wiki, not the other way around; for years and years beforehand, people simply called them "the NAs", as you can see by a cursory search of RADW or contemporary behind-the-scenes commentary. Marking them as a prose series is sufficient to disambiguate from the "New Adventures of _" audio series. Personally, for the sake of accuracy, I'd prefer we use the official names for page titles, and leave unofficial names as redirects noted on the page.

Thanks for pointing out my anomalous mention of the (novel series) dab term; that was a leftover from an earlier draft, which I ultimately rejected for many of the same reasons, and I've edited my post to fix the mistake. I don't think "book series" is appropriate, since it's exclusionary to prose that isn't published in a book. But I'm open to the amendment.
