I feel that Rudolph (Last Christmas) is too specific for this character, considering that Rudolph is a fictional character from the real world. Beyond appearing in ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'', he was also mentioned in ''[[Death in Blackpool (audio story)|Death in Blackpool]]'' - a story which precedes this one, and has likely been mentioned (or will likely be mentioned/appear) in a number of other stories.

I feel that Rudolph (Last Christmas) is too specific for this character, considering that Rudolph is a fictional character from the real world. Beyond appearing in Last Christmas, he was also mentioned in Death in Blackpool - a story which precedes this one, and has likely been mentioned (or will likely be mentioned/appear) in a number of other stories. 66 Seconds ☎ 11:03, February 19, 2020 (UTC)
