Vampire planet name[[edit source]]

This page had its content moved to Vampire planet.

The name, which is more of a description than a definitive name comes, I think from The Eight Doctors (novel) at chapter 11.

After much heated debate the rebel leaders had decided that a simple column somewhere in the village would be the most suitable memorial for Tarak - largely because nobody had the skill to carve a statue. The arts on the vampire planet were still in a very primitive state.

I don't think its usage in this paragraph is enough to constitute a name for the planet, but I'm presenting the information here just in case anyone's curious. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:38, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

I redirected it to Vampire planet because that's what the Seventh Doctor and, I think, his companions refered to it as in Blood Harvest. I'm aware that this isn't the planet's real name, just a description that comes from their experiences with vampires on the world. But I think if we can find a good enough name that is provided in Doctor Who media, anything is better than Unnamed planet (story name). -- User:Steed 13:11, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough.--HarveyWallbanger 17:50, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
May I redirect it, then? User:Steed 1:13, October 14, 2013 (UTC)
I suggest you ask User:Tangerineduel on his talk page, since he's the one who opposed the name at first. He may not see this talk page for a while but he'll be sure to get a message on his page. Shambala108 05:18, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Can anyone produce the quotes from Blood Harvest?--Skittles the hog - talk 08:39, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

"I tried to capture him, missed, chased him to the Vampire Planet and missed again" - page 273. Steed 20:47, March 28, 2015 (UTC)

There's also the same scene with Romana depicted in two novels.

"I spent quite a lot of time on the vampire planet myself." - Blood Harvest page 282
"I spent quite a lot of time on the vampire planet myself." - Goth Opera page 117

Can we please redirect or rename this page, or is more evidence needed? Steed 02:30, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

And yes, it is capitalised on page 273 and not 282. Steed 02:31, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

It's capitalised in two out of three cases in Blood Harvest, but that still means there are three texts (Blood Harvest, Goth Opera and Eight Doctors) using the rather more appealing lower case. Does anyone object to this being moved to "Vampire planet"?--Skittles the hog - talk 00:56, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

No, let's go! HarveyWallbanger 09:18, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Right. It took two and a half years, but it's done.--Skittles the hog - talk 18:17, November 3, 2015 (UTC)
