Revision as of 17:26, 7 November 2017
SOTO is right that the first name is not used in the references I've seen. Chances are it was never mentioned (or it could have been: such small references often go unrecorded). However, it is absolutely clear which character is meant. In a similar prior case, the first name of a real-world reference was used as the best way of disambiguating, despite not being mentioned in the DWU. While strictly speaking, it is not necessary to disambiguate Marple at the moment, I added the first name as future proofing. Amorkuz ☎ 22:57, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
- UPD: I was not able to find the mention of "Jane" in TV stories mentioned on the page. Amorkuz ☎ 21:57, August 14, 2016 (UTC)
- I don't see any need for a rename. This is not a character in the DWU, this is a fictional character in the DWU. Shambala108 ☎ 13:44, August 15, 2016 (UTC)
- T:HONOR, in its current formulation, does not distinguish between types of characters or, indeed, types of pages.

These should generally not be included in article titles, unless they provide the only reasonable means of disambiguation." Amorkuz ☎ 14:26, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Absolutely no one is going to wonder "Has Doctor Strange ever been mentioned in Doctor Who?", hop online, and search for "Strange (fictional character)".
