Talk:School children (Vincent and the Doctor)

Speedy rename

Unless it's a formal title, articles have to always be singular, right? -- Tybort (talk page) 13:50, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

We can't have one "individuals" article for two separate individuals! those two actors listed in the box aren't playing the same person, they're playing different people! these articles need to be split up. do you have any idea how these characters were listed in the credits?

While I agree in principle, if two companions of the Doctor, <nowiki>John and Gillian<nowiki>, have by forum decision (Forum:Split John and Gillian and Forum:John and Gillian) been combined into one article, then two minor characters as these children (and other characters like them) shouldn't get individual pages.

I agree with Shambala108 quite entirely. One of the reasons that credits like "School children" or "Daleks" or "Sensorites" happen in the first place is because there's no meaningful way to distinguish between the several people playing them. Not only would the articles be essentially, if not exactly, the same, there are certainly times where you wouldn't be able to actually tell the actors apart. So the sensible thing is to stick with the credits, put all of them on the one page, and make no attempt whatever to distinguish between them. After all, such distinction is most likely an act of speculation, in which we shouldn't indulge.
