Interview appearance
In the BTS section there is mention of an in-universe interview between Beep and another character. Does this deserve a page of its own rather like Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos? RadMatter ☎ 09:54, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- If it's fiction, sure. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 11:54, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- I just took a look, and it's a parodical interview with a fictional character. They mention Beep "appearing" in DWM kind of as if it was an acting job, but also as if it documented his encounters with the Doctor as truth. Doctor Who Magazine does exist in the DWU but it's not really clear (to me) if this interview is set in the DWU (Rule 4). Perhaps I could provide a screenshot somehow for others to see?

- No, that would not be proper. Copyright, you know. I'm sure interested parties can track down their own copy if you give them the issue number.

- That being said, it being a parody still means it should have a page, just an {{invalid}} page — similar to Not Guilty, for example, a similar parody interview from DWM. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 22:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Alright, it's a single page, and I believe I've seen more around here for discussion purposes, but it doesn't matter much. If anyone wishes to read it, it's from DWM 419 and the title should be Who on Earth is... Beep the Meep (short story). Chubby Potato ☎ 22:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm unsure what precedents you have in mind, but it being a single page makes matters worse — it's much more excusable, in terms of fair use, to propose to show an extract of a long work, than the whole of a short work.

- Admin note: a talk page message from User:DrWHOCorrieFan has been temporarily redacted from this talk page due to policy concerns (through no fault of DrWHOCorrieFan's own). Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 02:28, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
