I'm not seeing the point of having an article on Point of Entry by itself. As far as I'm aware, no one even knew about Point of Entry before it was uncovered by Big Finish. Calling it an "unproduced story" is a bit of a stretch, now that it has, in fact, been produced. This isn't on the same level as The Nightmare Fair, which actually did have a famous existence, and several versions made public. The fact that it was an unproduced television story seems more acceptably a part of the behind-the-scenes notes on the Big Finish production. Surely the BF production, in other words, deserves pride of place in being the main, un-disambiguated article named "Point of Entry".

More generally, we need to be very careful in calling this a lost Season 23 story. I'm not sure there's any evidence of that. Remember that a lot of these Lost Stories with Colin and Nicola aren't necessarily Season 23 stories, but can be stories that simply featured the Sixth Doctor and Peri. What is now known as The Song of Megaptera, but was The Song of the Space Whale was actually a proposed Season 22 story (and had in fact been proposed before as both a Fourth and Fifth Doctor story).
