This page was put up for speedy rename to lower the cap on ''alien'', but I think it's actually more of a regular rename situation. The name seems awfully speculative to me.

Uncited material[[edit source]]
The following was at the bottom of the page, under the aliens navbox. I removed it because it was mostly redundant with the more detailed text above it, and what wasn't redundant seemed speculative (how do we know that this alien came for a holiday? Or tried to fit in with the culture in Japan?). It sounded as if it might have come from some source outside the TV show (publicity info?). If anyone knows a source for this, we might be able to put it back:
- The Geisha Alien was an alien inmprisoned by the Department. She had come to Earth for a holiday, landing in Japan and blending into the local culture the best she could, but was still discovered and taken to Dauntless Prison. (TV: Liberation)

Speedy —> Regular rename[[edit source]]
This page was put up for speedy rename to lower the cap on alien, but I think it's actually more of a regular rename situation. The name seems awfully speculative to me. Is this what someone actually calls it? If so, we need to specifically cite the characters who use the term. Then we might think of re-instituting the {{speedy rename}}.

- Fine by me. The only thing I know about this character comes from the article, where it says the credits call it Geisha alien. Shambala108 ☎ 19:11, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
- The credits actually capitalise it as "Geisha Alien", see screencap of credits list here.
- After skipping through the episode the alien doesn't appear to be named by any of the characters in the episode. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:10, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
