Move to Sibling Different
Shouldn't this page (along with Same (Canaries)) be moved to Sibling Different (and thus Sibling Same)? Grandfather Paradox isn't titled Paradox (Christmas on a Rational Planet). NoNotTheMemes ☎ 15:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- The Grandfather is something of an exception, though — when you look at more run-of-the-mill Faction members, Justine isn't Cousin Justine, Auteur isn't Godfather Auteur, and Stendec isn't Father Stendec. Which is much as Tardis:Honourifics would have it. I think that — on top of common sense — the Grandfather is different because Paradox isn't his personal name — he is not a man called Paradox with the title of Grandfather, but a man whose name is unknown who had the title "Grandfather (of House) Paradox".
- A better question is whether we shouldn't just move these to Different and Same. It's unlikely we'll get other characters called that, and as we never have pages on common adjectives, the everyday meanings of the words are no objection. The dabs seem unnecessary.
