I don't think that the rename should be thrown away so easily. Firstly, because T:DAB says explicitly "Hence, Castrovalva means the city and Castrovalva (TV story) means the serial, even though the TV serial is linked far more often than the city. Equally, the page Adam Smith is for a character whereas the page for director Adam Smith is Adam Smith (director)."
Secondly, because there's a very similar case: Guy Adams (writer) has currently written 21 stories across two media, as well as acting on 8 stories. George Mann has currently contributed 28 stories, meaning they contributed almost as much as each other to the DWU (because two stories in which Guy acts were also written by him). Also, Guy Adams as a character is less proeminent that George Mann (Iris at the V&A), but still goes undabbed. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 23:58, May 21, 2017 (UTC)
- If the DWU character is simply the real world person, as seen in the DWU, we don't tend to give that "DWU character" preferential treament in T:DAB. Even otherwise, if a minor character called "David Tennant" was mentioned in a story, we would not be moving David Tennant to any sort of disambiguation. Castrovalva the story is named after Castrovalva the city, yet George Mann the character is based on George Mann the real world person. This is where primary topics come in.
