Is Max really a companion? He only hitched a ride in the TARDIS for one trip, to that haunted spaceship, in The Stars Fell Over Stockbridge, in End Game and then appeared with Izzy - and made a one-panel cameo in The Flood at the end of the Eighth Doctor comic strip run. But he never quite filled the traditional companion role, unlike the others on the page. He's a recurring character, definitely, but I'm not sure he qualifies as a companion, even a minor one. -- khaosworks ( talk • contribs) 06:09, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Should Stacy Townsend and Ssard perhaps be merged into this page? Or does the fact that they appeared in two media mean they merit their own entries? — Josiah Rowe 17:02, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Is anyone else having problems with the Emma image I added to this page (i.e. cannot see it) ? Tim! ( talk) 17:10, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Somebody's misremembered The Blue Angel: there's no cat in it. Wesley the kitten was invented for my fanfic sequel "Cabinet of Changes" ( http://www.infinitarian.com/cabinet.html), in reference to Wolsey and Wyclif (who wasn't previously mentioned on this page, but is now). I'm fairly sure Wikipedia doesn't want to extend the definition of "minor companion" as far as cats in fanfic. (My other edit relates to a story in a forthcoming Big Finish anthology.) -- Phil Purser-Hallard
A proposal: moving this page to List of Doctor Who spin-off companions and placing direct-outs to all non-televised companions who have their own articles in it. -- khaosworks ( talk • contribs) 03:24, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
As a matter of pedantry, isn't Antranak really Erimem's companion/cat rather than the Doctor's, unlike Wolsey? -- khaosworks ( talk • contribs) 03:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I added Irving Braxiatel to the page, but Khaosworks removed him. He's right and I was wrong. What I'm wondering is whether there's a list of spin-off recurring characters who aren't companions as such? Bondegezou 12:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
It's just struck me that there's no entry here for Jeremy Fitzoliver, of The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space fame. And, having just updated the entry for Short Trips: The History of Christmas with the names of featured companions, I'm wondering whether Leonardo da Vinci, as seen in Marc Platt's short story "The Innocents" (alternative Doctor, set between Auld Mortality and A Storm of Angels) ought to be added.

Last month, this page was moved from List of Doctor Who spin-off companions to List of companion characters in Doctor Who spin-offs. While I understand the reasoning for the move (a reader might think that "spin-off companions" are books like I, Who that cover the multitudinous Doctor Who spin-offs), I wonder whether the new name is longer than it need be. Would List of companions in Doctor Who spin-offs be sufficiently clear? — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 07:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Drax has not ever been a companion of the Doctor. The list is wrong about Search for the Doctor: he does appear in that, but as an independent agent travelling under his own steam, not as a companion. If he's not notable enough to get his own article, is there a "List of recurring Doctor Who characters who were never companions" that he can be moved to? -- Paul A 13:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Since nobody has said not to, I'm going to move him to List of Doctor Who supporting characters. -- Paul A 02:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Crystal drwhoua.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

We've generally confined ourselves on this page to companions appearing in the licensed Doctor Who spinoffs rather than charity fanthologies and other fanfic -- which, with all respect to it, is what Cosmic Fugue 2 is. From what I gather from the entry for that volume, Georges-Pierre also appears in exactly one story, which is also rather below the usual threshold for inclusion. If we start including fanfic companions in this page, we might be paving the way for out-of-control proliferation of material, much of it unverifiable. I've deleted Georges-Pierre, but I'm willing to listen if others (not just Wolf of Fenric) disagree. Phil PH 14:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
A short story, "Birth of a Renegade" by Eric Saward published in the Radio Times special commemorating the 20th anniversary of Doctor Who, had previously established Lady Larna as the true Gallifreyan name of Susan Foreman.
Not quite. In this tale Susan is described as having been the Lady Larn not Larna. Passing Scottish Bloke —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.216.48 ( talk) 11:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
These recently added characters are from The Sontaran Games and Judgement of the Judoon, which haven't been released yet. There's nothing in the blurbs to suggest that they're companions in the usually recognised sense (as there arguably is with June in The Slitheen Excursion), and it should be clear that we can't cover every character who "teams up" with the Doctor in a spin-off medium here. I've removed them from the page. Personally I'd also have held off adding June to the list until next April, but others may disagree. Phil PH ( talk) 09:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Disputes not withstanding, the indiscriminate use of fair use images in list articles such as this one is not supported. For the supporting policy, see WP:NFCC.

See similar discussion at Talk:Supporting_Harry_Potter_characters#Overuse_of_fair_use_images and Talk:List_of_James_Bond_henchmen_in_Die_Another_Day#Fair_use_image_removal (and observe that fair use images remain removed or tightly limited on those two articles). -- Hammersoft ( talk) 17:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
The characters of: Cinder the war doctor novel, Gabby 10th doctor comics, Alice, Jon Jones and ARC 11th doctor comics are missing from this article. 2.103.93.46 ( talk) 17:45, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
why has the character of ARC been Deleted from this list i have atemptet to re add the character but it was immediately reverted and if there are any douts about the charecters vlidetey heres the TARDIS wiki page for ARC http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/ARC 2.30.191.51 ( talk) 10:17, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
For a character who appeared only in one book, the section on Cinder seems rather long and overly detailed. I wonder if it should be cut back a bit? Dunarc ( talk) 22:58, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
