Actually, a key fact of the matter is that because no Wiki editor currently owns them, there has not yet been an inclusion debate for the The ArcHive Tapes audio series, which reinstates all of the David Banks Doctor Who: Cybermen info. Circumstantial evidence seems to point towards validity (it seems no different from The Dalek Conquests: what is basically summaries of classic Dalek or Cybermen material bridged together with new tidbit is presented with an in-universe framing as an audio story), but we just don't know.

They are valid until proven otherwise, though, and for the reasons I stated would probably come out valid from a proper debate whenever we have one, so that's one more reason to not shun the Banks terms quite so thoroughly. (Maybe someday I'll cough up the cash to buy The ArcHive Tapes and we can get his ball rolling properly, but for now it's hard enough reforming the way we do Dalek History on this Wiki without also taking on the burden of the Cybermen.)
