I think a case could be made for this page being deleted. The majority of the appearances are of the Dalek Time Strategist individual, and only about 4 stories actually features the Dalek Time Strategists as a Dalek sub-species. Therefore, most of this page's info is shared with [[Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)/Appearances]]. Is it really worth having this info copied twice over across two separate appearance lists? And if not, is there much point in having an appearance page that only lists 4 appearances?

Possible deletion?[[edit source]]

I think a case could be made for this page being deleted. The majority of the appearances are of the Dalek Time Strategist individual, and only about 4 stories actually features the Dalek Time Strategists as a Dalek sub-species. Therefore, most of this page's info is shared with Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)/Appearances. Is it really worth having this info copied twice over across two separate appearance lists? And if not, is there much point in having an appearance page that only lists 4 appearances? Thalek Prime Overseer 11:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I see what you mean, and I think the second option would work particularly well. A link to Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)/Appearances, as well as an accompanying sentence briefly explaining why those appearances aren't listed here, would be the best solution here.
