I don't know if the current title is taken from a secondary source or entirely conjectural, but I've always felt a much more appropriate title would be '''''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'' dating controversy'', as that is where the discrepancies truly begin.

The Point
What is the point of the creation of this page? Somebody explain... am I missing something? --DCLM ☎ 17:37, September 9, 2018 (UTC)
- There are already similar pages for the UNIT dating controversy and Aliens of London dating controversy. TheFatPanda ☎ 17:26, September 11, 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with DCLM. The UNIT dating controversy is a well-documented fan term. We can't just make up dating controversy pages for every story that contradicts other stories. Shambala108 ☎ 05:08, September 14, 2018 (UTC)
- True, but the dating of the Steven Moffat era got hard to follow after The Power of Three, what with the the Year of the Slow Invasion that was never mentioned again.BananaClownMan ☎ 20:13, September 23, 2018 (UTC)
- Well... given the fact that much of Eleven's one doesn't really take place on (then-)present day Earth, you can work around it. Many of the same days could easily have been relived by Amy and Rory multiple times. The Year of the Slow Invasion is a 12-month(-ish) event and the following story takes place in 2012 and the past. The (then-)present day Earth bits in Series 5, 6 and 7-pt. 1 can easily be said to be taking place at the same time given that we hardly see their lives at home. --DCLM ☎ 20:43, September 23, 2018 (UTC)
