As one person said on one of those links, the reason behind people not accepting what is stated in the Target novelisations, is they don't like the idea of there being a pre-Delgado Master. For so many people, Roger Delgado IS The Master. And if there was anyone before that, it would be wrong. But that's most definitely NOT a reason to ignore what is said in the multiple narrative quotes etc. to the contrary. As said, some people even make up blatant lies like "The Doctor and The War Chief never met each other before The War Games (TV story)", which is clearly wrong.

The only "problem" is there could be some contradictions within the narrative. But then, try and reconcile First Frontier (novel) with stories like Prime Time (novel), Dust Breeding (audio story) and Mastermind (audio story). Or, explain how Legacy of the Daleks (novel), The Two Masters (audio story) and Doorway to Hell (comic story) all fit together. There's a lot less "problem" with "The War Chief is the Master" than there is with any of those. At the very least, the page The Master should mention the War Chief, and at leasts ome of the story narrative listed on this page linking "the two characters" together.
