{{retitle|Inclusion debates/The validity of The Curse of Fatal Death (revisited with new evidence)}} | |||
A bit of a weird one today. ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'' has been invalid (or, in the olden days, non-canonical) on the wiki since its article was created in 2005. This is for the simple reason that it is commonly considered a parody or spoof and is listed at [[Tardis:Valid sources]] as an example of an "explicitly parodical" story. However, after discovering the wiki notes that [[Steven Moffat]] said in [[DWM 510]] that the story could have been seen as a legitimate continuation of the programme, I examined the original forum debate on the subject located at [[Forum:Is The Curse of Fatal Death canon?]]. After doing some research and following this advice from the debate: | A bit of a weird one today.

That's the proposal: ''The Curse of Fatal Death'' should be deemed a valid source. In short, although it is commonly thought of as a parody (including currently at [[T:VS]]) the authorial intent has always been perfectly clear that the story was quite the opposite. Additionally, [[T:NPOV]] is one of our most vital policies and I vehemently believe that we are violating it by not covering the story. | That's the proposal: ''The Curse of Fatal Death'' should be deemed a valid source.

I look forward to this debate getting underway, especially as RTD's testimony that "all Doctors exist" have provided this thread with a current relevance to editors and visitors of the site alike! | I look forward to this debate getting underway, especially as RTD's testimony that "all Doctors exist" have provided this thread with a current relevance to editors and visitors of the site alike! | ||
