From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Just to be clear, for something to be valid, it must be a story, a narrative. DWM illustrations for audio stories can certainly argued to be part of that story, and a visual representation of it, but promotional art in general is..wait for it..not a story. And only stories count.

Legacy artwork which is featured in DWM is no more valid than images on merchandise packaging or playing cards. It can go in a BTS section, if that's important to you, but by no stretch, really, can such illustrations pass T:VALID. We're not w:c:starwars.
