::::::Even if the narrative establishes that the Doctor, Amy and Rory have left their "usual" universe, that doesn't necessarily mean that the people and things they encounter are outside of "the ''Doctor Who'' universe" in the sense we use it here: that is, outside the narrative scope of this wiki. We already have articles on several [[:Category:Other realities|alternate universes and other realities]], from [[Pete's World]] to [[Silurian Earth]], as well as on their inhabitants. None of them are the "usual" ''Doctor Who'' universe, but we cover them because the Doctor or somebody else from his universe visited them in an officially authorized story. From a narrative standpoint, having an article on William T. Riker is no different from having an article on [[Ironicus]] or [[Boaz]] or [[Jack Ianto Geraint Williams]], none of whom exist in the "normal" ''Doctor Who'' universe. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 02:56, June 3, 2012 (UTC) | ::::::Even if the narrative establishes that the Doctor, Amy and Rory have left their "usual" universe, that doesn't necessarily mean that the people and things they encounter are outside of "the ''Doctor Who'' universe" in the sense we use it here: that is, outside the narrative scope of this wiki.

I've noticed that the non-canon template has been added to the page, but not by an admin. Should it really be classed as non-canon so soon just because its a crossover? --[[User:MrThermomanPreacher|MrThermomanPreacher]] <sup>[[User talk:MrThermomanPreacher|talk to me]]</sup> 13:12, June 3, 2012 (UTC) |
