:::: Hi, I'm the one who made the page originally - apologies if it's not quite up to snuff, it's my first one! I included them both in the same page, rather than two seperate ones as they're part of the same campaign - similar to the 2009 Xmas idents - and though you could argue that the Sonic one isn't valid, I consider them both to be so, as they both take place in the same location. The titles aren't official, I made them up for ease of communication. If any of this isn't the correct procedure, please correct, I'm still understanding the rules and policies.

Validity

I'm not sure these idents should be valid. They seem a bit too metafictional, and not in a "metafictional but still plausibly in-universe way" like other idents and short scenes. Fourteen uses his sonic screwdriver to conjure up the broadcast date of The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"], for example.

Oh and this page should have a dab term. 14:01, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Or should it? If they each have their own title (…what's the source for these), it strikes me that this should just be a series of page and each of the two idents should have its own page. Handily this demonstrates that the Sonic Ident is completely fourth-wall-breaky and a non-starter for validity, while Impossible seems kosher to me. Scrooge MacDuck βŠ• 19:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
I did a quick Google search for the titles and I've found nothing. 21:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
