I agree with [[User:Tybort|Tybort]]'s suggestion in the rename template that the story dab on this page should be changed to (The Impossible Astronaut) – the [[Virgin New Adventures]] have already given us many examples of characters who technically appeared first in the DWM prequels but are nonetheless disambiguated by the novel title; [[Luigi (Blood Harvest)]] is one example I found with a few seconds of searching.

Rename[[edit source]]
I agree with Tybort's suggestion in the rename template that the story dab on this page should be changed to (The Impossible Astronaut) – the Virgin New Adventures have already given us many examples of characters who technically appeared first in the DWM prequels but are nonetheless disambiguated by the novel title; Luigi (Blood Harvest) is one example I found with a few seconds of searching. The same precedent should apply here, and to the extent that the current text of the rules doesn't match this longstanding practice, the rules should be updated. – n8 (☎) 15:01, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
