Talk:The Megéve Experiment

So it seems to me that this is... A documentary about the making of a fan film? If that's the case, surely it doesn't pass rule 2? OS25🤙☎️ 18:00, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Eh. Documentaries don't need licensing per se. A reliable documentary about fanfilms of such obvious historical notability as ones where Who actors reprise their role could very well warrant a page. But I'm pretty confused about what this is exactly. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 18:15, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

The reason I mention Rule 2 is that someone has been adding this to Victoria Waterfield/Appearances and Ace/Appearances, as if this page covers the fan film shown at the end. OS25🤙☎️ 18:19, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Ah. Yeah, shouldn't happen. (Hm. At least regarding Ace. Reeltime did use Victoria under license once: could this be a NOTCOVERED candidate, usable at Victoria Waterfield/Appearances? We should investigate. But prima facie I agree it should be treated as fanfic until proven otherwise.) Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 18:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

That's a very good question. It really depends on if the BBC's permission for Downtime was a one-time thing or if it was more akin to the famous BBV "piece of paper", which gave permission for BBV to use Liz Shaw without a deadline.

Basically, it would be worth asking someone involved if they used Victoria under the belief that they had permission to. OS25🤙☎️ 18:26, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
