Forum:Early Wildthyme books
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
All of Obverse Books' Iris Wildthyme short stories are considered somewhat canon here and have articles. Before Wildthyme was officially introduced into Doctor Who, she starred in three books - Marked For Life, Does It Show? and Could It Be Magic? by Vintage Books. These books contain no references to the DWU beyond Wildthyme being implied to be a Time Lord, but neither do the Obverse anthologies. Why, then, don't we have articles on the Vintage Wildthyme books? Is it just because no one could be bothered creating them/didn't know the books exist? Or was it because of some authorisation or canon debate? Either way, I think we should either create pages for the books, or delete the pages for the Obverse anthologies. I'm in favour for the former. The preceding comment was made by Bigredrabbit (talk to me) 11:58, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Before the character of "Iris Wildthyme" entered into the DWU she wasn't a DWU entity, nor was she connected to any other elements that make her a DWU entity.
- Everything after her entry into the DWU is still building/feeding from what was established in the DWU.
- So the three books you've noted can be mentioned and any information from them can be mentioned in the 'Behind the scenes' section on the article.
- But they shouldn't have articles of their own, nor should any of their information be included anywhere on in-universe articles except in the behind the scenes sections. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:40, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
