Talk:Interweb of Fear (home video)/Archive 1
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Documentary
I would argue that with the archive footage chosen and the narration at the time the footage was playing it has a valid narrative and therefore should merit inclusion. --Borisashton ☎ 19:37, January 29, 2017 (UTC)
- It just features a few clips in the documentary like Thirty Years in the TARDIS, they are just featured. No minisode was featured. 82.3.146.201talk to me 19:42, January 29, 2017 (UTC)
- When the narrator says 'We had a problem' (or something similar) archive footage of a man getting murdered by the War Machines plays. This seem like a narrative (albeit a very loose one). --Borisashton ☎ 19:48, January 29, 2017 (UTC)
- But it's still part of the documentary, joined together - unlike other minisodes featured in documentaries. 82.3.146.201talk to me 19:51, January 29, 2017 (UTC)
- As I said above there is a narrative, which means it's a story. From what I can tell passes the four little rules due to this. --Borisashton ☎ 19:57, January 29, 2017 (UTC)
- In a documentary, it doesn't warrant a separate page, it's unwatchable individually. 82.3.146.201talk to me 20:06, January 29, 2017 (UTC)
- I've just had time to watch the documentary (with just the bits with the archive footage from The War Machines) and it makes sense on it's own as a brief history of the BBC website with the archive footage linking the narration. --Borisashton ☎ 16:15, February 4, 2017 (UTC)

I've opened a discussion at Thread:224568 to discuss this video's validity. All further comments should be made there. And for the record, inclusion debates must be posted at Board:Inclusion debates so that they get a wider audience than just a talk page. Shambala108 ☎ 23:51, September 22, 2017 (UTC)
- I wish we still had the Forum archives to check, but noting for posterity's sake that if I recall correctly, the finding of the thread was that it was narrative enough, but was a parody and therefore failed Rule 4 of T:VS. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 13:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
