Name
While Tom is referred to as Thomas Daley in Iris Wildthyme & the Bush Offensive, from the sources about his home, he is only referred to as Tom - so, to stay true to the source material, I opted to call this page Tom's home. Epsilon (Contact me) 12:26, October 19, 2020 (UTC)
- Isn't that like omitting Mel's surname on pages related to the TV series, though? -- Saxon (✉️) 14:04, October 19, 2020 (UTC)
- I'd say the name needs changing anyway because there are other Toms with homes in the DWU so we might as well use his full name. --Borisashton ☎ 15:13, October 19, 2020 (UTC)
- While I wouldn't mind this page being dabbed, I wouldn't want Tom's full name being mentioned on the page. It's like Gallifreyan and Homeworlder - same species, but a different name. We wouldn't have a page exclusively concerning Faction Paradox with monikers from The Deadly Assassin. 19:52, November 16, 2020 (UTC)
Hmmm, while I do understand that, I think, alongside my aforementioned rationale, this page should remain as "Tom's home". Look at Cleavis, for example. His first name is contradictory, despite being the same character.

- That's true but there's no contradiction about Tom's surname. -- Saxon (✉️) 20:07, November 16, 2020 (UTC)
But there is a trend of these types of contradictions in Magrs' works. Just sayin'.

- That may be the case and if Tom's page were to be moved to "Tom (Verdrigris)" because of conflicting accounts about his surname in the future, I'd support this remaining at "Tom's home". Until that point, I stand by my proposed rename. -- Saxon (✉️) 20:13, November 16, 2020 (UTC)
- I like future-proofing as much as the next guy, but until Magrs proposes a contradictory last name for Tom, I don't think we need to prepare for it. As it is, the options as I see them are Thomas Daley's home or Tom's home (Wildthyme at Large), and my love for dab terms makes me prefer the latter. – N8 (☎/👁️) 20:14, November 16, 2020 (UTC)
