The potentially complicating factor here is that ''The Maharajah's Star'' was released just under two months before ''Paradox Lost''. So, it is entirely possible (likely, even) that Archibald was created for that novel before an additional short story was written featuring him. Indeed, the wiki page claims as much, though provides no source at present. I'm not sure of any precedent there, though ([[Chronotis]] springs to mind as a similar case, created for ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]'' before appearing elsewhere).

: I believe Chronotis still appeared in a ''[[Doctor Who|DW]]'' novel of some sort before ''Dirk Gently'', but that's beside the point. I feel like elements created for DWU stories which happened to be released shortly after a ''re''use of the element should probably be considered "DWU elements" regardless - not sure if this is reflected in policy, though.
