 * Archival footage has been re-contextualised to be more than a simple memory of the past. Flashbacks to previous Doctors seen in Day of the Daleks doesn't count, whereas eleven previous Doctors do appear in The Name of the Doctor. Why? because Clara, a character from the current production, is shown to be interacting with the old footage, such that a new meaning for the old footage emerges.

This seems like a description that is hardly clear - just a moment ago you were arguing that Rose, Donna, and Martha in LKH shouldn't be included, yet by this description, they should; as they interacted with 11 in a way. This also qualifies for the death scene in Logopolis, as the companions seem to be talking to the Doctor.

I for one, think the solution is as simple as adding specifics to the stories that need specifics. Simply adding "(picture)" or "(flashback to TV: ...) would solve nearly all of our troubles, and without the pointless creation of further pages or even the deletion of useful material and info.

If we're to continue this conversation, we should either rename this thread or move to a new one. One too many times on this wiki have extreme decisions been made under completely mundane titles which fail to attract users. If we are to make a decision on this, then "Page that lists the appearances of the Master errors" is hardly a very accurate title.
