Personally, I think the fact that she completely dropped off the radar means she's not the clearest case of companiondom out there. But I don't really care one way or the other, since we're talking about her inclusion in navboxes. Navboxes aren't really a part of the article proper. So if you guys want to include her there, I really don't mind one way or the other.

That said, it would be deeply inappropriate, I think, for her article proper — and especially the lead — to suggest that she was a companion. If the article starts with something like
 * Courtney Woods was a companion of the Twelfth Doctor...

that would go beyond the scope of this discussion, and would likely be deleted. Her lead should definitely reflect the fact that she is primarily a student of Danny and Clara's at Cole Hill School who had a few adventures with the Twelfth Doctor. To me, that's the least controversial way to describe her. And we do this for some single-adventure comic companions. I think it works to say that they traveled with/had a few adventures with the Doctor and then slap the companion navbox at the bottom of the page.
