Whatever the old conventions, most everyone on the Internet these days knows them as Virgin New Adventures, not New Adventures. Wikipedia calls them that, for one thing.

What's more, while within this Wiki it's true "New Adventures (prose series)" would do the trick, you also gave some thought to Google search optimization in your opening post, and here's the thing: since looking for "New Adventures Books" wouldn't get you anywhere, I'd wager anyone googling the VNAs will be typing Virgin New Adventures sooner than New Adventures. Typing "New Adventures" or "New Adventures Books" will obviously yield tons of irrelevant results.

Yes, we only get to call The Dalek Chronicles that because it was officialized in the 1994 reprint (whereas we, say, don't get to refer to Doctor Who (TV story) as The TV Movie or The Enemy Within). But aren't there any official reference materials that call the VNAs that, which could justify our use of it? Surely there must be.

As for "(prose series)" vs. "(book series)", I hadn't considered we might want to use the dab term for 'series' of short stories not published in books but rather magazines. Are there any such pages on the Wiki? Could be. "Prose series" still sounds like what a Dalek would say but oh well.
