This TARDIS already has a page under the correct name - Presidential TARDIS. -- Saxon (✉️) 17:58, October 3, 2020 (UTC)

Then that should have been a merge tag on Livia's TARDIS. Crikey, what a lot of trouble over a borderline-stub.
Yet I must trouble you more: isn't "Presidential TARDIS" a general designation, rather than the name of one individual TARDIS? That is to say, shouldn't "Presidential TARDIS" be used to describe the concept/"rank" of a Presidential TARDIS, while this page gets renamed to Presidential TARDIS (The Eleven) for the specific timeship sabotaged by the Eleven? --Scrooge MacDuck 18:04, October 3, 2020 (UTC)
I suppose that depends on whether a Presidential TARDIS appeared after this point. I can't say I remember one appearing in Gallifrey: Time War or Eighth Doctor: Time War, so I'm not sure it's been hinted that there are multiple. -- Saxon (✉️) 18:11, October 3, 2020 (UTC)
Not really. It depends on whether "Presidential TARDIS" is treated as a specific name for the specific TARDIS of this specific President, or as a general title. (i.e. Was the Doctor's TARDIS a "Presidential TARDIS", briefly, on those occasions when her pilot was Lord President? Or is there an ancient, singular Presidential TARDIS that is passed down the line of succession, regardless of whether an individual Lord President also own a personal timeship? --Scrooge MacDuck 18:41, October 3, 2020 (UTC)
I honestly could not say. All I can say is that Romana and another President both flew in "the Presidential TARDIS" and I don't think we have much more to go on than that. -- Saxon (✉️) 18:54, October 3, 2020 (UTC)

In Square One, Romana says that there are multiple Presidential TARDISes and that they are all lacking in personality. Jack "BtR" Saxon 17:32, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
