That leaves us with the three stories that are orphaned. I am more than sure that two out of three stories will find themselves deleted (or merged) before long, and the final story – Dalek alternative script extract – could remain on this page as mention only rather than on the stories list (as it is the odd one out of all the other releases which all got webcasts – even the short story that was ‘Revenge of the Nestene’ got the webcast of [[Jacob Dudman]]’s narration).

: DWM 554 does contain this list, and I agree that it is a very interesting piece of data. Still, it makes no claim to be "comprehensive", nor that the list itself was based on their discussions with Cook. | |||
: It also notably includes the non-narrative ''Long Song'' cover, which they don't separate from the rest at all, so they clearly use different criteria than we would in ''any'' case. Since we're going to slightly mess with their scheme by not including ''Long Song'' in the same list, I see no reason not to also leave ''[[Dalek alternative script extract (short story)|Dalek alternative script extract]]'' in the list, possibly with a footnote explaining that it was not included in the DWM article. Ditto for ''[[How The Monk Got His Habit (short story)|How The Monk Got His Habit]]'' under the current policy of considering it a short story, though of course, if your proposal to merge it goes through, that would change matters somewhat. | |||
: After all, DWM are positing a Lockdown ''Season''. It is obvious that such a thing could only contain media which are, in one shape or another, video. This is not necessarily a denial that prose obviously released under the ''Lockdown!'' banner (in this case, the ''Dalek alternative script extracts'' and arguably ''Monk'') is not part of ''Lockdown!''. | |||
: I agree that the lack of any mention of the BBC Website stories is compelling evidence to house them on a different page, albeit with prominent link from that page to this one and vice-versa. We might also think of some scheme whereby ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]'' and ''[[Incoming Message (webcast)|Incoming Message]]'', while not part of the list of stories, are mentioned in the infobox of the watchalongs themselves as having been released to tie in with the ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' watchalong, even if they are not ''quite'' part of the ''Lockdown!'' brand and/or Season. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:26, July 30, 2020 (UTC) | |||
