:: ''Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary'' is seen as a valid source because it contains characters who made their debut in DWU stories (such as [[Tish Madoc]] and [[Deirdre Whatsit]]). The argument that this story retroactively makes ''Baker's End'' a valid source is that it confirms that Mrs Frimbly is [[Fenella Wibbsey|Mrs Wibbsey]] and the names are interchangeable therefore a character who debuted in a DWU story appeared in every Baker's End story.

:::: …No, that's not really the argument, actually. Unless the link was present ''upon release'', the Wibbsey=Frimbly equivalence doesn't provide a licensed link to the DWU for ''Baker's End'', any more than we would started covering all of ''Star Trek'', had ''[[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]]'' revealed the ''Enterprise'' to have been a disguised TARDIS this entire time. What the equivalences prove is that ''Baker's End'' passes [[Tardis:Valid | :::: …No, that's not really the argument, actually. Unless the link was textually present ''upon release'', the Wibbsey=Frimbly equivalence doesn't provide a licensed link to the DWU for ''Baker's End'', any more than we would started covering all of ''Star Trek'', had ''[[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]]'' revealed the ''Enterprise'' to have been a disguised TARDIS this entire time. What the equivalences prove is that ''Baker's End'' passes [[Tardis:Valid sources|Rule ''4'']] — that it is intended to be continuous with ''Nest Cottage'', contra the conclusions of the original debate on ''Baker's End''. ''Baker's End'' otherwise contains its fair share of characters who debuted in the DWU, most notably [[Vince Cosmos]]. ''That'' is the (thus far, in the absence of a Forum, entirely theoretical) argument for reconsidering ''Baker's End'' coverage that would actually hold some water. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 23:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC) | ||
