Can this really be counted as canonical? Tardis1963 talk 08:39, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- It's not a valid source, no. Whether you want to count it as part of your personal canon is up to you, but this wiki doesn't think it can be used as a source for the writing of in-universe articles.

Not that I'm aware of, no. Honestly, I think that people just confused this and the actual deleted scene. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 00:21, October 27, 2020 (UTC)
- I can't find the thread that decided this, but I'm fairly certain I came across a discussion of its invalidity once. The rationale, at any rate, is rather stouter than merely confusion with the comic story.
