However, I do believe that this page should remain in an invalid capacity due to the fact that there is a foreword by [[Terrance Dicks]] which talks in depth about Doctor Who, and several significant changes were made to the original story to closely relate it to the ''DWU''.

::: The latter, again, means nothing for the Wiki. Any number of works might try to ''hint'' that they are within the DWU without evidence to that effect, and we still won't have pages about them… Many of the ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' (and other [[BBV Productions]] stories) that we don't cover went so far as to have little "From the Universe of ''Doctor Who''" stickers on the covers or promotional material, and that still doesn't make us give them individual invalid pages! | |||
::: The foreword is more interesting — but that would mean covering the ''Doctor Omega'' book, purely as a piece of merchandise. This is not the same thing as covering the novel in an {{tl|invalid}} capacity. "Invalid" is a very specific status on this Wiki, which implies a full plot summary and the creation of pages about the characters, tagged as invalid and placed in [[:Category:Non-DWU individuals|Non-DWU individuals]]. We aren't going to do that. | |||
::: What we ''could'' do is (removing the "(novel)" dab term) have a page on this book treating it as a reference work, with the ''Introduction'' as our main point of interest, and the fact that the book "also" contained a "fanfic" of sorts that took up most of the page-count would become something of an afterthought. But while I could see this being worth it if there were no other ''Doctor Omega'' works with ties to the DWU, I believe it is simplest to '''simply cover this information at [[Doctor Omega (series)]] page, within the established framework of [[:Category:Real world series with DWU connections]] pages'''. This page should be merged back into that one. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 22:16, 27 January 2022 (UTC) | |||
