I understand what you're suggesting now and I totally get why Liz, Lethbridge-Stewart, Benton and Mike would be considered companions. Whilst I don't know if I still agree with this, I would disagree that many of the Tenth Doctor's so-called companions (i.e. [[Astrid Peth]], [[Tish Jones]], [[Francine Jones]], [[Clive Jones]], [[Leo Jones]], [[Sylvia Noble]], [[Wilfred Mott]], [[Jackson Lake]], [[Rosita Farisi]], [[Christina de Souza]] and [[Adelaide Brooke]] (especially those last four)). Although the UNIT people could well be considered companions, I still stick by my claim that the aforementioned Tenth Doctor companions are not. I think that this wiki should establish a definition of companion so that things like this can be prevented in future. [[User:Bigredrabbit|Bigredrabbit]] 07:42, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, yeah. That would stop the argument.[[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 11:17, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

It's not for the wiki to decided upon the definition. You need an in-universe source for complete clarity as even the opinion someone like JNT isn't gospel. Not sure why you're saying a trip in the TARDIS is on the companion check-list. [[Liz Shaw]] is a companion, is she not? Yet she only travels in the TARDIS in ''[[The Wages of Sin]]''.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 11:48, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

I personally don't count the UNIT soliders as companions, but, I '''Do '''count Liz Shaw as a companion because she is the same as a companion throughout season 7. I don't count the Brig because he's at most a friend of the doctor (if he was a companion why isn't he listed as a companion in "The Web of Fear"?)
