:As I recall, Banks went to some lengths to connect the various Cyber-leaders he played in his book ''[[Doctor Who: Cybermen]]'', but that's not a narrative source, and thus inadmissible for our purposes. However, some of the material from that was recycled as "The Origins of the Cybermen" in the [[:Cybermen CD tin.jpg|''Cybermen'' CD tin]], and I don't recall whether that was presented as a story or as "made-up history". If it's the former, it's probably a valid source, and we'd need to see whether the identification of the various Cyber-leaders as the same individual (or the memories of the same individual downloaded to some central consciousness or some other such rigamarole) is recorded therein. We should also check ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'' to see if the notion shows up there. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] [[User talk:Josiah Rowe|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:31, July 21, 2012 (UTC) | :As I recall, Banks went to some lengths to connect the various Cyber-leaders he played in his book ''[[Doctor Who: Cybermen]]'', but that's not a narrative source, and thus inadmissible for our purposes.

Somewhat related to the bit about the Cyber-Controllers, I'm wondering if there should be individual pages for the various Mondasian Cyber-Leaders and Cyber-Lieutenants. (i.e. Cyber-Leader (Earthshock), Cyber-Lieutenant (Earthshock) and so forth), leaving Cyber-Leader (Mondas) as a sort of page for the rank. May need to rewatch, but I gather David Banks and Mark Hardy's characters can't be the same convertee in every story they appear as Cybermen.
I mean, the sections in Cyber-Leader (Mondas)'s history come off as individuals' pages in of themselves. -- Tybort (talk page) 22:41, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
- As I recall, Banks went to some lengths to connect the various Cyber-leaders he played in his book Doctor Who: Cybermen, but that's not a narrative source, and thus inadmissible for our purposes. However, some of the material from that was recycled as "The Origins of the Cybermen" in the Cybermen CD tin, and I don't recall whether that was presented as a story or as "made-up history". If it's the former, it's probably a valid source, and we'd need to see whether the identification of the various Cyber-leaders as the same individual (or the memories of the same individual downloaded to some central consciousness or some other such rigamarole) is recorded therein. We should also check Iceberg to see if the notion shows up there. —Josiah Rowe ☎ 04:31, July 21, 2012 (UTC)
