::: I completely stand by this proposal. We need to change a whole bunch of stuff to be valid, rather than invalid. ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Shalka]]'' for one, if only due to the fact that for a few years, [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|the Shalka Doctor]] was the continuation of the main ''Doctor Who'' timeline, being the rightful successor to [[Paul McGann]]'s [[Eighth Doctor]], and ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)|Dr. Who]]'' and [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|the Cushing Doctor]] for another, due to the fact that in-universe material actually cover him as a valid Doctor somewhere along at least '''a''' timeline, plus the fact we keep getting more Cushing Doctor novels and we can’t cover them as a wiki should. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:31, 12 January 2023 (UTC) | ::: I completely stand by this proposal.

I support this proposal entirely. I wish I'd thought of it myself! Besides what I've written in "Comments and concerns" about how it embodies the principles which are already guiding our validity decisions, there are also strong instrumental reasons for my support, which I'd like to briefly elaborate on. [[Tardis:Temporary forums]] was erected for matters with significant impact on the wiki or its readers: as that page says, "Specific validity debates about specific stories or series may not be selected for discussion in the immediate future as they generally do not have a wide enough impact on the wiki as a whole." Despite this, validity debates for each of the stories Scrooge addresses have clogged up the proposals chart from the start. For better or worse, that is simply the appetite of the editors of this wiki. By resolving all of these stories in a single swoop, this proposal should fill that appetite, clearing up the list so we can move on to more urgent and significant matters. I believe this is why this proposal rose so quickly to the top of the queue, and it's part of why I'm so happy to support it now. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 16:49, 12 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
