::::In the same sense, it's '''''simply not the case''''' that having The Doctor as a character makes the work in question part of "a" Doctor Who Literary Universe. The most obvious example being the Simpsons occasionally using the character in ways that aren't obviously parodical ''for the character'' for jokes about time travelers or such. Or, you know, [[Cultural references to the Doctor Who universe]] for a ton of these. While you may, personally, consider all of these things to be actual factual appearances of The Doctor or what have you, (I know I consider some of them to be connected to Doctor Who in my own headcanon!) they do not constitute part of the Doctor Who Literary Universe. Let's kill this nonsense stone dead here and now. Our rules for validity are not the same as rules for some sort of maximally permissive Doctor Who Free-Association Universe. '''''They are attempting to define a specific scope for what we, as a wiki, can cover.''''' It's important to not confuse the two.

::::: I maintain, with respect, that I am misunderstood. No The Simpsons doesn't count it isn't licensed, only licensed things should count, but Fangs of Time is made by the BBC with the Fourth Doctor. Maybe he's not there through conventional means, but he's there somehow. As a character. To exclude it still feels too much like canon.
