I just realised that, despite my liberal up-thumbing of comments here, I've never actually commented. So here it is: I can't think of a reason why these three stories should be "guilty by association" of being nonvalid just because they have connections to invalid stories. There are plenty of other stories that are perfectly valid on this wiki, despite referencing nonvalid ones: examples that leap to mind are ''[[Whatever Happened to Iris Wildthyme? (audio story)|Whatever Happened to Iris Wildthyme?]]'', which repeats wholesale a joke from ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]''; and ''[[The Taking of Planet 5 (novel)|The Taking of Planet 5]]'', which gives an origin story for the [[Tersuron]]s seen in ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]''. The validity of those stories has never been challenged, and while I don't believe it's necessarily true, the double-standard certainly seems like a violation of [[T:NPOV]]. | I just realised that, despite my liberal up-thumbing of comments here, I've never actually commented.

PS: Has anyone else had difficulty with the forums swallowing their messages when they hit "Reply"? This is the second time it's happened to me in the last week; thankfully, this message was much shorter than the last one I lost. | PS: Has anyone else had difficulty with the forums swallowing their messages when they hit "Reply"?
