Talk:The Doctor's species

Merge

Both this page and Timeless Child's species are on the same topic. Timeless Child species is also somewhat more a neutral title than 'the Doctor's species', as the beginninsg of its species are not 'the Doctor' or that individual. Timeless Child is a better less weighted term for the species. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:14, March 2, 2020 (UTC)

I think you saw the earlier version of the page at The Doctor's species, which is indeed similar to Timeless Child's species, since User:SOTO moved the contents of the former to the latter.

The current form of the page, however, is intended to be of apiece with The Doctor's age and The Doctor's early life: it's not a page about the unnamed species purported by one specific account (The Timeless Children) to be the Doctor's true birth species, but rather a hub page to pool all the differing accounts of what the Doctor's species is. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 16:40, March 2, 2020 (UTC)

The Doctor's species is a matter that is by no means agreed upon in all stories. Per T:NPOV, The Timeless Children is not *the* definitive account: other contradictory accounts of the Doctor's origins which completely diverge from this one should have equal weight. Valid sources for the Doctor being fully or of half-human, for instance, do not fit into the same narrative put forward by this latest story. So there is plenty to discuss on a page about the Doctor's species, just as in the two pages Scrooge MacDuck linked to above.
