::I think you're exaggerating the importance of [[list of companions]], anyway. The primary interaction with a companion list is through the navboxes, which take a much broader view. You'll see, for instance, that {{tl|Companions of the Ninth Doctor}} has no problems listing [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Adam Mitchell|Adam ''Mitchell'']], as would be expected from the narrative. | ::I think you're exaggerating the importance of [[list of companions]], anyway.

I think we need a 'list of possible companions AND allies' which would include every fly on the wall. At the top should be a note that many, if not most, people listed are not generally considered companions. It needs to include some kind of notation of why they might possibly qualify and / or are disqualified. (This list, BTW would include Churchill on the 'several story arcs' grounds.) I remind you that the 4th Doctor said point blank (in a fit of anger) that he never chose his own companions [source below]. If this is taken as true for all instances he did not specifically invite someone to travel with or join him on the TARDIS, then many accepted companions would no longer qualify. That would be excessive. BTW, if you're willing to let it be a year in progress I'm willing to do the brunt of the work on a C & A list. It would be a bear of a work. - M.
