Talk:List of companions
Eleventh Doctor Disputed Companions
Really? How can one off characters be considered companions, even disputed? This is understandable for characters such as Astrid and Adelaide, who (though I personally don't consider them companions) did fill a companion role in episodes where a regular companion is absent. But saying that Nasreen and Craig could be "companions" is ridiculous! We can't say that every one of the Doctor's many aquaintances is a companion. Otherwise we'd be left with a massive list.

- Answering this belatedly:the problem is the definition some fans and other authorities have taken is that a person becomes a companion if they've not only shared an adventure with the Doctor, but done so in the TARDIS. However, that doesn't account for Craig. Blame the BBC for declaring one-off characters like Lady Christina official companions. If The Lodger had been a Christmas special, Craig would have been considered one officially. I do think some level of common sense has to prevail, though. 23skidoo 21:17, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
The TARDIS
The Doctor's Wife firmly established that the TARDIS isn't a ship, but a full out companion with all rights and privileges thereto. So this reason I added her (and the episode confirmed that it is a her, regardless whose body she borrowed) to the "Special Cases" section in an "Other" category, which I think is fair enough, so that we don't have to pigeonhole her into a specific Doctor. 23skidoo 21:17, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ <span style="">21:15:46 Sun 26 Jun 2011 I'm all for deletion, despite the fact that I've put some work into this page. It's a waste of our time constantly warring over this page. Delete it and move on. Navboxes like {{companions of the First Doctor}} have essentially superseded the utility of this list. Navboxes work better for controversial subjects that aren't well defined in a canonical story.
