I’m sure there IS an [[The Question|answer]] for this I’m just not aware of, but, just as a matter of [[curiosity]], why, exactly, do we refuse to consider authorial intent that this character was [[the Master]], but we accept other ‘writing around trademarks’ appearances like [[Kelsey Hooper]] in [[Faction Paradox]].

:I'm no admin, but I think the way it works is this: say you've got an established ''Doctor Who'' concept "X", and a concept "Y" in another story, which doens't have the license to "X" but implies very hard that "Y" is a facet of "X". We ''don't'' accept the implication itself as valid — ''but'' if a third story, licensed to use both "X" and "Y", helpfully says that "X" and "Y" are the same thing, ''then'' we allow ourselves to spread the identification even to pages about stories not licensed to use "X" themselves. | :I'm no admin, but I think the way it works is this: say you've got an established ''Doctor Who'' concept "X", and a concept "Y" in another story, which doens't have the license to "X" but implies very hard that "Y" is a facet of "X".

:If every a Big Finish story licensed to use [[the Master]] ''and'' Professor Stream takes the time to confirm that Stream was in fact the Master, ''then'' we shall be allowed to say Stream is the Master.

Would it be against the rules, though, to add an in-universe section to the page highlighting how the Master is established to have a history with the Doctor, know hypnotism etc, and often use anagrammatical aliases? – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 19:43, 9 February 2021 (UTC) | |||
