Deletion
This page really isn't a part of the Doctor Who: Lockdown! series. For starters, it's a joke that RTD put on his instagram. Now, yes, it being on Instagram doesn't mean it's invalid inherently and it's a good one in my personal opinion, but the panel is also a part of the Now We Are Six Hundred poetry collection, also by Davies. It's not a new story; it's more like a meme, and if we included it, we'd have to include a lot of things that Who celebrities post on Instagram.

- I fail to see what it being a joke or posted on social media has to do with anything — Strax Saves the Day was posted on Twitter and is every bit as parodical, yet it clearly is part of Doctor Who: Lockdown!. Both are invalid, but that doesn't mean we don't cover them.
- The real salient point is in this panel being repurposed from Now We Are Six Hundred, and thus not being an original work as I (not having read Now We Are Six Hundred) had mistakenly assume. However, separated from the text and given this new title/caption, I would argue that it becomes a new, though, yes, {{invalid}}, narrative; The Message of Mystery is a good precedent for material from an earlier story being given new text and context, and becoming a new story.
- In any event, even if we do decide that Breaking Isolation doesn't deserve a page in its own right, it should be merged into the page for the story in Now We Are Six Hundred that the illustration is taken from — Games… a page which, as of yet, does not exist. So really, what we should do if we decide that this doesn't count as a separate release is rework it into a page about Games, and rename it "Games (short story)" — not delete it. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 12:05, April 4, 2020 (UTC)
