The examples are that the Bernice Summerfield books and audios very clearly use Time Lords, TARDISes, make references to what are clearly supposed to be Daleks, but they never actually identify them by their names. Because they do not have the rights to use the names, or indeed the characters themselves. There is a good essay about this in the Parkin/Pearson Ahistory, called something like "Terminology of the Benny Stories", which makes it abundantly clear that the Bernice Summerfield novels/audios fail TARDIS Wiki's "Valid Sources" criteria.
