This list could be massive, the Doctor Who spin-offs#Other Doctor Who Spin Offs are practically a case study in how to not mention the Doctor or other stuff owned by the BBC. Much the same goes for the Faction Paradox (series), the Bernice Summerfield Virgin novels (after Virgin lost the licence).

This sort of thing is bad for a list, if the topic needs to be covered it's not a list but an article chock full of references, that can really discuss why these things occured, what the impact was and the process of it and everything like that. --Tangerineduel 18:11, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

  • Surely the length should not be an issue? Now, we're supposed to note as much as possible in the infoboxes, yes? We're not supposed to miss information out, yes? And if sections get too long for an infobox, they are better placed on another article as appropriate, yes? Well then, this page should exist. We can't have that rule for one section but not another. I mean, look at the tenth doctor's appearances, it is lengthy, but we still have that. If we don't note references to him, we wouldn't be documenting the show(s) properly.

One thing that may make it easier though. We could have one for the Doctor, then for those who only reference one specific incarnation (as that is the only one they have met or known) they are separated into pages for each incarnation. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:25, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
