[[File:TVC 674 Front Cover Advertising Doctor Who.jpg|thumb|A cropped version of the cover, omitting the ''[[Popeye (series)|Popeye]]'' strip (and, in my opinion, thereby being less informative).]]

Right, so a while ago, [[User:OttselSpy25|another user on this site]] went through various issues of ''[[TV Comic]]'' which featured ''[[Doctor Who]]''-related content, and made pages for them. Admin [[User:CzechOut|CzechOut]] later decided that they didn't deserve pages due to not being released under the ''Doctor Who'' brand, and deleted the pages, redirecting them to a [[TV Comic/Covers|list of covers]]. Additionally, said list of covers only features the very top banners of these issues, with the article claiming that "Because of the lack of a need of ''Popeye'' content on this wiki, these galleries will mainly function to cover the top banner of the issue.". Personally, I quite strongly disagree. First off, in terms of a "lack of a need of ''Popeye'' content on this wiki"... we now have [[Popeye (series)|an overview for ''Popeye'']]. And secondly, the full covers would allow the issues to be more easily identifiable (and be more in line with how issues of other periodicals are covered).

Additionally, the idea that the covers couldn't be featured on the site would also suggest that all non-''Doctor Who''-branded periodicals from ''[[TV Century 21]]'' to ''[[BeanoMAX]]'' couldn't be properly illustrated either, at least for specific issues (although these do often advertise the ''DW'' content on their covers... but so does ''TV Comic''!). Although the decision that ''TVC''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s issues couldn't have pages wasn't the result of a forum decision, I feel that a forum thread would allow this issue to be resolved if consensus is reached, as a single individual's choice generally cannot override forum consensus.
