As currently written, our policy would oblige us to give the titles "Tom Baker" and "Matt Smith", among others, to the in-universe versions of the real actors, because in-universe concepts are supposed to trump real-life concepts.
I assume the necessary links can be moved to "Tom Baker (actor)" or similar by bot, so what I'm asking is this: should an exception be added, generally speaking, for alternate dimensions in which the Doctor is a fictional character? It would be an odd rule to have, but it's easier than trying to remember which actors have appeared in-universe, similar to the headache we faced back when story pages didn't automatically have suffixes.
Related to this is Category:Doctor Who actors that exist in the DWU, which is a mess thanks to counting cases like Patrick Troughton (via Robot of Sherwood)...
