True. It's the implication of a connection that I'd be against. There's obviously no authorial intent for them to be the same. You could have a sentence that reads something like: "Torchwood Three encountered a species that also inspired fairy mythology...", with a suitable counterpart on the fairy page.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 18:49, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Small Worlds fairies

Don't they seem like they're basically the same species as the Fairies of Small Worlds? They were also called "fairies" among other names in the novel, were native to Earth, and had other similar characteristics. JagoAndLitefoot 17:33, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Without in-universe confirmation, you can't make the link. The text suggesting a connection should be removed as it is supposition.--Skittles the hog - talk 18:28, December 17, 2015 (UTC)
