User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-4028641-20150906221018/@comment-4028641-20150924190102 Here's the thing.

If this book featured brand-new creations of "what-if" Doctors, the description would be enough for us to accept the stories as alternate dimension Doctors.

But the "alternate Doctors" featured in this book are of Doctors which had already existed. All of these are either accepted as valid on this site now (Ultimate Adventure, TVC comics) or are considered invalid (A Fix with Sontarans, Dimensions in Time). Most of those stories we consider invalid because they weren't meant to be serious or broke the fourth wall. However, one story has remained in that category because it was clearly not meant to take place in the DWU, but it was never made absolutely clear if if was an alternate universe story. This book is the only story set featuring the "Dr. Who" and "Suzy" characters to make it clear that they exist in an alternate dimension. So this could elivate both movies, the comic featuring them, and any future stories out of their invalid classification. Even if we decide that this collection does not contain enough info to complete this classification, it's only a matter of time before a comic or short story makes the same idea more clear.
