[edit]K-9 Mark II
Since this is the novel in which Romana returns to Gallifrey, and she and K-9 Mark II are specifically seen in novels, audio plays, and the Shada webcast alike, all taking place chronologically later in Romana's personal timeline, it should be noted that the book fails to account for K-9 accompanying her and the Seventh Doctor on the journey back out of E-Space. K-9 is mentioned in an original scene in the prologue that takes place in between parts of "Warrior's Gate", and discussed by the characters, but the prose neglects to specifically describe the Mark II as accompanying them back to Gallifrey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.250.105 (talk) 04:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Sources being ignored
[edit]Thanks, OliveYouBean, for your work on articles on various books in this series. However, might I suggest that many of these books have significant RS coverage that is being overlooked? In particular, The Who Adventures by David J Howe (ISBN 978-1-84583-185-1) is an invaluable resource with substantial coverage of many titles, and there's also Ahistory: An Unauthorised History of the Doctor Who Universe by Lance Parkin & Lars Pearson (3rd ed.: ISBN 1935234110). I'll try to add material myself, but I just wanted to flag that there is good coverage in non-online sources that answers notability concerns. Bondegezou (talk) 15:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Bondegezou thanks for the comment. I'm not aware of The Who Adventures, but it looks like it's published by Telos (who published the Doctor Who novellas) so I'm not sure how independent of a source that is for Doctor Who books. From what I've read of An Unauthorised History of the Doctor Who Universe, it only contains plot summaries of various books, which imo isn't enough to satisfy notability requirements because articles are supposed to contain more than just plot summary. If there's content from those books which does talk about the books beyond just plot summary then I'm happy that they can be used to satisfy notability.
- I'm aware that there very well could be useful offline sources I'm not aware of, which is why I'm just tagging articles and not mass-redirecting them. I'm trying to slowly put these articles through the AfD process so that there's an opportunity for people with access to offline sources to make a case for notability.

- AFAIK, Telos stopped publishing or selling Dr Who novellas in 2004. The Who Adventures' is from 2021 and doesn't, as far as I recall, even mention the Telos novellas; it's a detailed history of the Virgin books. So I don't see any independence concerns.
