While a decently recurring element of the show that sees some occasional outside discussion, I simply can't find enough SIGCOV in order to justify its separation as an article. Most of the sources I found were trivial mentions, and while I found one scholar source and a couple of books giving a decent bit on it, I'm fairly certain it isn't enough to qualify as SIGCOV. A short description of the effect in another article would suffice, though whether that be in the main Doctor Who article or elsewhere, I'm not really sure of at this time.

- Delete I only find coverage of this on fansites, wikis, and other unreliable sources. Nothing reliable to pass WP:V, let alone WP:SIGCOV to create a reliable reception about its notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:48, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: I could only find passing mentions of this topic. ―Susmuffin Talk 14:51, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete agree that it fails WP:SIGCOV. Looking at the mention in the archived Village Voice article "A tech-free bit of science fiction that's inside-baseball enough to reference Blinovitch (a minor Dr. Whocharacter)..."
