An argument against this could be that "Gallifrey Original" is a proper name, whereas "original Gallifrey" is just a descriptor, but I actually think this is an argument ''for'' this rename. This is because the page here is not about the Gallifrey which is, somehow, "objectively" the original, but rather about collecting the varoius statements implying or stating a certain Gallifrey is the original. So it ''should be'' only a descriptor. Maybe even [[the original Gallifrey]] could work, but personally I prefer it not to have the definitive article in it.

Wait, no. Ive just checked ''Alien Bodies'' and it turns out its not called the original Gallifrey there. only homeworld. [[original Homeworld]] it is, then, unless someone else can find a source for "Original Gallifrey".

Rename[[edit source]]
I think this page should be named "Original Gallifrey" because the phrase "Gallifrey Original" is only used in Doctor Who and the Time War (short story), whereas multiple other sources use either "original Gallifrey" (Alien Bodies (novel), ect) or "original Homeworld" (The Book of the War (novel), ect). An argument against this could be that "Gallifrey Original" is a proper name, whereas "original Gallifrey" is just a descriptor, but I actually think this is an argument for this rename. This is because the page here is not about the Gallifrey which is, somehow, "objectively" the original, but rather about collecting the varoius statements implying or stating a certain Gallifrey is the original. So it should be only a descriptor. Maybe even the original Gallifrey could work, but personally I prefer it not to have the definitive article in it.
