The Panopticon/The Near-Misses section

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Recently, User:Bold Clone and I came into a disagreement about the necessity and, more importantly, were the line in drawn in the "Near Misses" section of the Doctors' biographies. I asked him if he would like to start a thread about it. He declined that start one himself and implored me to open the case myself. So, here I am defending the need for the "Near misses."

The main defends for the sections being taken down is that they "have nothing to do" with their respective Doctors. Personally, I am inclined to disagree with this statement, as each time the Doctor's regeneration is about to start is no different that his actual regeneration, only differing in that the near misses do not enter completion. The ones that do end up completed still have build up on the biographies.

Also, as a matter of discussion is where the line between a "he started to regenerated but didn't" is drawn. Take The Touch of the Nurazh, which is kept up, and The Indestructible Man, which was taken down, were the regeneration proses is started but then negated by different circumstances.

The Stolen Earth near-miss is not even given a reason to have been taken down from the Eleventh Doctor's page, but still was despite The Touch of the Nurazh being an identical situation.

All in all, I'm very confused about what should and what shouldn't be considered a "Near Miss" and would like to have this mess sorted in a debatable manner.
