Given the level of detail in the recent ''Adventure Games'' I'm going to step back from including them as a secondary source, as their info is fairly detailed at times and there are several articles using a video game as their only source, mostly character articles, and some like [[Kaalann]]. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 16:07, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

:A good measuring stick for videogames-as-canon might be the involvement of the BBC and the ''Doctor Who'' production team.  While things like ''[[Dalek Attack]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror]]'' were created entirely by outside companies who merely secured the BBC licence and did their own thing with it, ''[[Doctor Who: The Adventure Games]]'' were produced with the involvement of [[BBC Wales Interactive]] and executive-produced by [[Steven Moffat]], [[Beth Willis]], and [[Piers Wenger]].  ''[[Attack of the Graske]]'' was made by [[BBC Wales]].  While there wasn't a ''Doctor Who'' production team at the time, ''[[Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors]]'' was co-developed and published by [[BBC Multimedia]].
This might be a simple way to divide the canon-capable games from the others. — [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] - '''[[User talk:Rob T Firefly|Δ]][[Special:Contributions/Rob T Firefly|∇]]''' - 04:24, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
