 :::: Sorry for breaking up your post. I agree here. "Seven" has no real precedent (other than Mark Seven, below). As far as we know, there is no proof for capitalising it. I don't have my DVDs on hand to check how BBC Worldwide's (or whoever was responsible) subtitle team decided to capitalise it. It does seem that [[Repair droid 7]] is a better name for the "Clockwork Woman", but we're still left with "Clockwork Man".{{User:SOTO/sig}} 21:31, December 12, 2016 (UTC)
+::: The only android with spelled out number I could find was [[Mark Seven]] and there seems to be some problem with his naming/designation anyways. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:21, December 12, 2016 (UTC)
+=== Control node ===
 ::: As for the man, isn't he the [[Control node]] of this particular crew? [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:17, December 12, 2016 (UTC)
 :::: ''The Girl in the Fireplace'' does not use the term "control node", at the very least. He does seem to be the leader, and according to ''Deep Breath'' the leader of the repair droids is called a control node. If that's good enough reasoning, [[Control node (The Girl in the Fireplace)]] ''might'' be a valid new name, but it feels like a reach to depend on a later story.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 21:31, December 12, 2016 (UTC)

 ::::: UPD. Tough luck. The other droids definitely move after the Clockwork Man is paralysed and it is the lever that turns them off. The description in the plot is correct. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:13, December 12, 2016 (UTC)

+:::::: Does this mean it doesn't necessarily follow that he's the control node? Or is he still the control node simply because it's clear enough he's the leader? After all, it wasn't established for another eight years that the other droids should deactivate without him. And indeed, even ''Deep Breath'' establish that they deactivate on the ''death'' of the control node, not his immobilisation. I was just about willing to move this there once I got access to my computer again, which I have now.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 02:29, December 13, 2016 (UTC)
