At one time, I believe I remember reading somewhere that media based fiction was kept "on the list." It routinely scored high, though, and so it fell into the excluded category, just like Harry Potter tended to late in the series.
Interesting stuff, though. Myself, I tend not to read media fiction because I can't keep up with it. Doctor Who is an exception, because, well, Doctor Who tends not to worry too heavily about canon. Being a Time Lord means you can rewrite canon at will.
