* The "interruption" idents. These are a little ''less'' clear than the 2009 idents, which had its own story. In this case, the story is "the Doctor interrupts the ident." It's still fiction, but you can't read much more into it than that. | |||

* [[Dalek Wars (series)|Dalek Wars]] - this one just doesn't make any god damn sense in my opinion. When a [[Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)|1960s story]] is used to sell candy cigarettes, we give it a featuring page! But when a 2000s story is used to sell baseball cards? No. >:( Even if the proposition doesn't pass, this being invalid makes no sense with our rules. | * [[Dalek Wars (series)|Dalek Wars]] - this one just doesn't make any god damn sense in my opinion.

* ''[[The Future Is At Your Fingertips (TV story)|The Future Is At Your Fingertips]]'' - This ALMOST doesn't pass Rule 3. These were commercials made in New Zealand which the company decided to never use. They never broadcast on TV... BUT they did premiere at a film festival. If they pass "Rule 4" is really something one could debate. | |||
* [[Meet the Thirteenth Doctor (TV story)|Meet the Thirteenth Doctor]] - This one is odd, because I don't think it qualifies for Rule 4. Now, if a future story were to give context to what's going on here, I think this would qualify for ''Rule 4 By Proxy''. | * [[Meet the Thirteenth Doctor (TV story)|Meet the Thirteenth Doctor]] - This one is odd, because I don't think it qualifies for Rule 4.

* [[Doctor Who: 50 Years (trailer)]] - Another great example here where there's no real proof that this was intended to be set inside the ''DWU''. But you could also argue that this trailer simply depicts a [[Multi-Doctor Event]] that ''Day'' doesn't show. It's certainly more of a promotional short than a trailer, and certainly something that would qualify for ''Rule 4 by Proxy'' if some other valid fiction referenced it. But as it stands, I think it deserves to be in the middle here. | * [[Doctor Who: 50 Years (trailer)]] - Another great example here where there's no real proof that this was intended to be set inside the ''DWU''.

* [[Walls' Sky Ray lollies advertisement]] - I've long considered this one, and I think it's suffice to say that this a trailer for the story included in the packaging: ''[[Dr Who's Space Adventure Book]]''. It's really a commercial with the aesthetics of a fictional story, not a fictional story that happens to sell something. | * [[Walls' Sky Ray lollies advertisement]] - I've long considered this one, and I think it's suffice to say that this a trailer for the story included in the packaging: ''[[Dr Who's Space Adventure Book]]''.
