The description of the Minister of Chance has appeared in a licenced Doctor Who novel, yet that appearance could easily be interpreted in other forms. If Dan Freeman himself is saying that DCTT isn't in the DWU, then how can we possibly cover the Minister of Chance series, as DCTT is our only solid way of linking it to the wider DWU.

Unless the Minister of Chance series does include some already established links that exist both within official Doctor Who works and the MoC series, then I can't see how it can be included. Basically at the moment Vienna's series has more right to be included on the wiki than the MoC series, since her character and several species from that series have appeared in the DWU. At the moment the MoC series' only link to the DWU is an audio play that is widely considered non-canon due to its complete disregard for series lore, and a vague description of Stephen Fry in The Gallifrey Chronicles.

Just as a side note on that description in The Gallifrey Chronicles; The Tomorrow Windows also includes a description of a future Doctor that the Discontinuity Guide website interprets as Stephen Fry. So while the description in The Gallifrey Chronicles could be the Minister of Chance, it could equally be this supposed future Doctor, or vice versa.

The argument is just too strenuous for me to win my vote for the series' addition to the wiki.
