:I vote for the article's wholesale deletion. There is no rationale whatsoever for creating pages like this to describe events that are already covered by the plot at the episode page. I mean, where does this madness end? [[The Time the Dalek Came Out of the Thames]]? [[When Cybermen Walked In Front of St. Paul's Cathedral]]? [[That Time the Doctor Almost Blew Up Davros]]? [[Styre's Mountainside Chat With Sarah Jane Smith]]? I mean, c'mon, this is one step too far. I'll grant that there are some instances when you need a page for something that's not specifically named in a script. This whole [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]] is a good example. You need a page for that, but we don't have a name for it. Fine. But fake names for portions of the plot of an episode? Create a redirect if you really must, but don't waste time actually writing a rehash of the plot that already exists elsewhere.

Where was this called a 'battle', at the very most it's two Dalek factions engaging one another, in a very short fight. --Tangerineduel 14:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Perhapse Skirmish at Tranquil Repose is a better term or maybe Stand Off at Tranquil Repose Dark Lord Xander 14:59, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- I still do not understand the purpose of pages like this. You're obviously inventing a term. This encounter has no name. That's the truth of the fiction. Link to Revelation of the Daleks in a naturalistic way and be done with it. Such as: A skirmish occurred between two Dalek factions at Tranquil Repose. Meanwhile, there's much actual work that needs to be done at the Revelation page . . . CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 20:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
