:First of all, please keep this conversation reasonable and friendly. That last sentence isn't necessary. Validity debates are always open to everything and anything, as long as, as you say, there is a tenuous enough link. I agree that the link to PROBE makes it seem as though this is set within the DWU, but playing as devil's advocate here, this Wiki tends to hold the idea that if something is one step too far removed, then we don't cover it. Those aren't my rules, it's just how it goes. For example, making ''Dimensions in Time'' valid doesn't make Linda Carter and everything in ''EastEnders'' valid. It's a tough one that is definitely worth a debate. | |||
:I also agree with you that saying that something doesn't present itself as DWU doesn't really mean it's not DWU. Just look at the ''Vienna'' audio series. That was, for a long time, not considered valid on this Wiki despite a lot of us pointing out that Vienna herself has crossed over numerous times in the main range. As a series, ''Vienna'' kept to itself, had original monsters, original storylines, and didn't want to rely heavily on the DWU. And actually, that was invalided by one quote from one person, which could be interpreted many ways. I'm happy to cover the novelisation, but not the VHS release, but it needs further discussion. Just keep language here reasonable and professional. :) [[User:Thefartydoctor|<font color="blue">The</font><font color="silver">Farty</font><font color="red">Doctor</font>]] [[User talk:Thefartydoctor|<small><sup><font color="green">Talk</font></sup></small>]] 15:27, 9 July 2023 (UTC) |
