Audio Adaption[[edit source]]
In January this Comic and several other will be getting audio adaptations now should these be covered? Or not? Like Novelisations and audio adaptions of Doctor Who Stories I believe they should. Mr Steelman the character is a DWU a concept and his big finish appearance shoudl constitute and valid appearance of him. Anastasia Cousins ☎ 21:39, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- There's also one of The Vanishing Ray, although that is out of continuity with the original comics as Lady Penelope's apparently already in International Rescue (though it could probably be covered, perhaps as invalid). As for this, I think if the Dunwell Atomic Research Station appears, it'll be covered, and if it's a faithful(-ish) adaptation, it could probably be valid. (Though featuring most elements from the original story may be enough even if the station doesn't appear... Stuff introduced in crossovers is complicated sometimes) Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 21:52, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- (written before the above message)
- I think we should wait and see to what extent it sticks to the source material before making any decisions. Big Finish and Anderson Entertainment have already released an adaptation of a story we cover, namely The Vanishing Ray, but in my opinion it was too far removed from its original context to pass Rule 4 of T:VS. Technically, of course, we could still cover as invalid but I don't believe there's much point in having a page for an invalid adaptation if another wiki (in this case, the Thunderbirds Wiki) has a greater claim to it than us.
