The reason why the Michael stories are allowed despite the apparent lack of a TD connection is not because he's based on a user, but because he has appeared in a competition story. Under this wiki's ground rules, competition stories are TD-related by definition. (There are a few other noncompetition stories about OCs who first appeared in competitions, some by the competition authors, some not.) Personally, I think the Cobra Man stories are a little more problematic.
