Notable Aliases

The conscencus at the discussion forum: Notable Aliases is that one-off nicknames that were never really used, particularly if they were only used as a joke (the rotemeister being a good example) should be removed. Therefore I am going to remove some of them from this page. I will include a list of them on this talk page after I remove them. If you disagree with this then discuss it on the panopticon page that I linked here, and if you disagree with the removal of a specific name than discuss it on this talk page.Icecreamdif 17:58, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Here's a list of the names I removed. I removed both joke names, and names that were really descriptions of the Doctor rather than names for him. This problem really only seems to effect new series characters, so I didn't have to remove an aliases from before the ninth Doctor. Here is what I removed:

Ninth Doctor

• My Executioner
• Housemate

Tenth Doctor

• The Lonely God
• Traveller Without a Home
• Skinny Idiot
• Little Physcician
• Doctor-Man
• Martian
• Lonely Angel
• Great Big Outer Space Dunce
• Mr. Conditional Clause
• Father (unless you want to add this to every character who has children)
• Pretty Boy
• He Who Dances in Lonely Places
• The Destroyer of Worlds

Eleventh Doctor

• Bad, bad boy
• Mr. Grumpy Face
• Uncle Doctor
• Voice of God
• The Man of Peace

what a headache

ANY aliases used by or given to the Doctor COUNT. Put them back. Do you know how hard the rest of us look to find them? Ugh... This is ridiculous. Come on. Nicknames don't always get repeated. So, what;s wrong with what was there, hmm? (Just curious) Nobody else complained. Well, I give up. (Sigh...)Forgetful 10th doctor fan 00:13, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

well, actually, there is a very long discussion that was at the panopticon which was linked to above where just about everyone agreed that one off names and descriptions don't count. and i agree. for example, if i called you skinny idiot once like i'm doing here, would you then consider it an alliace of yourself? would you then turn around every time someone calls out "skinny idiot" because you think they're refering to you? unless the name is either notable, i.e. a major part of a story line e.g. harold saxon for the master or used often e.g. john smith for the doctor or something the doctor askes to be called specifically for the purpose of being an alliace (not just jokingly) then it can't really be considered an alliace, no matter how hard you looked for them.
