Those pages have been deleted. As has been said, no further pages (beyond LEGO Dimensions (video game)) can be created until consensus here is reached.
I think "group-neutral nouns", as it was put above, makes sense within its context. Which is to say I can see that working, not that I'm saying the game is a valid source. This is a new case, something we haven't encountered before. Our job here is not to create exceptions to established rules, but to see if the game fits into our standards. We cannot allow for any inconsistencies in the way we judge stories.
So the question becomes: does it follow our four little rules? Two and three, definitely. Four? No (serious) official statement has been made about the game's inclusion in the Doctor Who universe. So it really comes to rule #1: is it truly a story? Is excluding certain elements to make it a story a valid way of taking this? Would just the cut scenes count as story, or would the gameplay (with ambiguity on who did what) be included in the plot as well? Is it stretching it to include certain bits but not others, or is it representative of how it was intended to be experienced, with cut scenes as story, interactive bits as simply gameplay in between?
There are many questions we need to ask ourselves before we create any more pages on this topic. Don't forget, while a discussion is ongoing, no one can act on it.
