Except in very rare cases articles should not be created for events or things that have no names. Battles in particular do not deserve their own names/pages unless the name is given in a primary source. The article's lead says "the March of the Adipose was the name given to . . .

- The evil dude - This event is quite important to the 21st century whoniverse, therefore it deserves an article. You could rename it to "Mass Birthing of the Adipose" or something similar, but this article must stay.
- It has an article: Partners in Crime. You can do wonderful things with text flow in other articles by using a masked link with something like [[Partners in Crime|insert any name you want here]]. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 17:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Tangerineduel 18:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC) It is an important-ish event, made all the more important because of the events seen in Turn Left, it's one of the stand out events for S4. It's also the in-universe representative of the outcomes of Partners in Crime.
- But it's in no way an in-universe name. "March of the Adipose" is what The Mill (and possibly the tech notes on the script) called it.
