I'm sorry, Shambala108, but I really have to contest your point as well. I can't find any foundation in the policies for it. Four of the seven stories you mentioned were deemed invalid for very specific reasons which do not apply here, two are up for debate in this very forum right now and really shouldn't be cited until a decision is made, and Dermot and the Doctor seems to have never had an actual discussion, with two admins arguing for inclusion on its talk page, but (forgive me for a subjective interpretation) the story seeming to be so minor that no one really cared to follow through (if there was a discussion that I haven't found, please forgive me). | I'm sorry, Shambala108, but I really have to contest your point as well.

I will grant that an argument could be made that crossovers can be tricky to consider "in-universe," since the whole point is that they cross over with another universe, but we have to set a consistent standard, and I don't see how to include Assimilation² and not these. Honestly, I'd be okay with the policy going either way, but whatever it is has to be consistent. | I will grant that an argument could be made that crossovers can be tricky to consider "in-universe," since the whole point is that they cross over with another universe, but we have to set a consistent standard, and I don't see how to include Assimilation² and not these.

I'm sorry, Shambala108, but I really have to contest your point as well. I can't find any foundation in the policies for it. Four of the seven stories you mentioned were deemed invalid for very specific reasons which do not apply here, two are up for debate in this very forum right now and really shouldn't be cited until a decision is made, and Dermot and the Doctor seems to have never had an actual discussion, with two admins arguing for inclusion on its talk page, but (forgive me for a subjective interpretation) the story seeming to be so minor that no one really cared to follow through (if there was a discussion that I haven't found, please forgive me).
I can't find anything in the policies that doesn't essentially say that any licensed appearance of an in-universe character is valid as long as it doesn't break any other of a few specific criteria.
I will grant that an argument could be made that crossovers can be tricky to consider "in-universe," since the whole point is that they cross over with another universe, but we have to set a consistent standard, and I don't see how to include Assimilation² and not these. Honestly, I'd be okay with the policy going either way, but whatever it is has to be consistent.
