	::I just don't feel that it would be otherwise correct to conflate unsolicited spec. pitches like the TV ''Doctor Who and the Star Beast'' or ''Mind of the Hodiac'' for things that got formal commissions. Between those three terms: we can keep a relatively minimal number of categories with losing immediate & important distinctions... and ultimately, we can reformat the current List of Unproduced Stories into a list that makes clear distinctions on what got how far in terms of specifically those 'Uncompleted' stories.

			:::I can understand why that perspective makes sense if we focus only on TV. But does it make sense in the context of every other medium? How many "unproduced" and "uncompleted" novels are there, using this distinction? Not many. I can think of [[Campaign (novel)]], [[Nimon of Athens (novel)]] and [[Mentor (novel)]] qualifying under some metrics, some being uncompleted, some unproduced. Pretty much every other "lost novel" we cover is a pitch. If the proposed dab terms slices things into sets too small to make categories, (Category:Uncompleted Novels), the distinction is probably not worth making.
