:::::It's either loosely applied or it's not. Clearly, a mod or admin needs to have the final word here, because she's just as much a companion as Adam Mitchell, Vincent van Gogh, Madame Vastra, and Dorium Maldovar.

:::::: Yeah, reading this particular discussion, personal individual opinion (statements like "Because she just isn't" is utterly meaningless. I agree with 75 that the judgement call has to be made by authority, not by us. Personally, I tend to go with what the BBC says, and last I looked, for example, Adam was considered a companion. Criteria such as "must have travelled in the TARDIS" cannot be included because if that's the case then Liz Shaw must be disqualified and no one wants to do that. (And if you want to be that technical, than Vastra and Jenny and Strax and Dorium and all companions because they rode in the TARDIS in AGMGTW (and Vastra got another ride in Snowmen), whereas Clara actually isn't a companion yet because she hasn't had the chance yet).

What this wiki - and in fact fandom in tot - needs to do is follow the lead of when they disqualified Pluto as a planet and gave it a special designation all its own - there needs to be a "pseudo-companion" or "close associate" category created for characters like the Brigadier, Sara Kingdom, Jackie Tyler, as Vastra, Jenny and Strax.

:Okay, of all the people you just listed, only Adam Mitchell is actually a companion. The rest I will remove myself.
