User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-1678571-20200111162705/@comment-6032121-20200118000600 It is my understanding that current Wiki policy is that unnamed things in invalid sources don't get pages, but I've never encountered anything about named items, characters and concepts not getting pages, if there is something substantial enough to say about them (and clearly there is).

If you want to argue otherwise, please either show me the actual policy page stating so, or start an actual Panopticon debate asking to make it so; but cutting back the scope of what this Wiki covers by as much as you're proposing is not something I'm willing to just nod along to on the basis of vague notions.

Regardless of whether we have an inclusion debate for Battles in Time (I don't believe there ever was one to begin with?), I don't know where you're getting the idea that we oughtn't have pages about named stuff from invalid stories from. Category:Non-DWU material is a very well-stocked category indeed. And rightly so. We're, I maintain, a far richer Wiki for having pages like Gigantus, Shalka or Brainmos, and I really see no good reason why we shouldn't; why should our fannish ideas on what we can accept as part of the DWU or not make the Wiki less thorough in its coverage of licensed Doctor Who-related material?
