By my account, a majority of pages for characters whose names only appear in their novelisation already use those names. An incomplete sample includes Tom Barclay, Eregous Bates, Theodore Benik, Tasambeker Brown, Owen Bywater, Cairn, Cedric (The King's Demons), ECCO, Cass Fermazzi, Sylvia Gribbins, Frank Harris, Mary Hollis, Jebal, Joanna (Doctor Who), Joshua Jobel, Derek Johnson, Fyodor Nikolai Kerensky, Klegg, August Lilt, Lee Lin, Robert Lines, Katz Makrif, Megara One, Megara Two, Simon Metcalf, George Morris, Fariah Neguib, Jason Overton, Palmer (Terror of the Zygons), Pam (Warriors of Kudlak), Edith Randall, Colin Redmayne, Vincent Russell, Sakkib (Invasion of the Bane), Heidi Scarlioni, Danny Simmons, Smith (The Dinosaur Invasion), Mary Smith, Odessa Smith, Mitch Stannard, Archie Sylvest, Lancelot Takis, Edmund Thursday, Effie Thursday, Ram Vermas, Justin Vogel, Vorn (The Mutants), Owen Watson, Wilkins (The Dinosaur Invasion), and Robert Wigner. Let these serve as not only a demonstration of the practicality of novelisation names being used more generally but also a prompt for us to reconsider the current policy which forbids their existence!

Realities

When it comes to continuity, tone, and worldview, the Doctor Who universe's many spin-offs and sub-series have usually been more concerned with themselves than each other. For instance, within a series such as The Monthly Adventures, one can expect to find more references to previous audios and the Classic show than the Virgin Decalogs or Doctor Who annuals. As a result, each series presents a relatively self-contained chunk of the Doctor's reality. Sometimes these pieces have ebbed and flowed into each other through shared characters or references; other times, they have gone out of their way to paint each other as separate timelines or universes.

While acknowleding that most sources suggest these chunks all to be the same reality, covering them separately helps to highlight the ways in which they stand on their own. TheChampionOfTime and MrThermomanPreacher have paved the way for this with the creation of pages like Virgin reality and The Doctor's reality (An Unearthly Child). I've contributed to MrThermomanPreacher's collaborative chart of these "reality" pages, both created and relinked, along with the approximate stories and series they cover.
