- It would help if you spelled out the significance of, nature of, and justification for your chances? For one thing, prima facie, I don't see why Ada Lovelace and Noor Inayat Khan should be moved to "Narratively ambiguous" as opposed to "single-adventure". You don't get much more narratively explicit than Graham, Yaz and Ryan recognising that "they're being replaced" (albeit temporarily, as the Doctor reassures them). --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:14, November 10, 2020 (UTC)

I think we need a discussion about who is and isn't companion following the appearances of multiple recurring characters in Flux, and this seems the best place for it. So far, the following characters have been added to Category:Thirteenth Doctor companions or Category:Human Thirteenth Doctor companions:
- Bel (Once, Upon Time)
- Karvanista
- Inston-Vee Vinder
- Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)
- Eustacius Jericho
- Joseph Williamson
- Mary Seacole
Can we truly consider all of these to be companions? Characters like Joseph Williamson, Bel and Mary Seacole only met the Thirteenth Doctor in one episode. Williamson and Seacole didn't even stick around for a trip in the TARDIS. We don't consider Charles Dickens a companion of the Ninth Doctor, or Agatha Christie a companion of the Tenth Doctor. Out of these, the only ones I would consider to be companions of the Thirteenth Doctor (in the most ambiguous sense) would be Vinder and (perhaps) Jericho & Karvanista at a push. Jericho (while he spent 3 years with Yaz and Dan) was only around the Doctor for a short amount time and Karvanista spent most of the time on his ship rather than at the Doctor's side. 66 Seconds ☎ 18:56, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
