the thing is, in the episode, they were never, ever called Whisper Man.

Name
Surely this should follow wiki conventions and be named after the singular rather then plural? So "The Whisper Men" becomes "Whisper Man" ScotchAutopilot ☎ 19:33, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. I tried to make a link to "The Whispermen" or "The Whisper Men" page and it's impossible. We never saw one individual alone over the episode, they only appeared as a group. Badwolff ☎ 19:11, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
the thing is, in the episode, they were never, ever called Whisper Man. All the rhymes, they were all known as The Whisper Men, so me, the one who created this page, thinks that it should be the same. Although I did make the same mistake creating the Cybermite page, I think I have made the right choice. StevieGLiverpool ☎ 21:22, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

- But there is both a page for "The Silent" (which I bet there are very few links to) and "The Silence" which refers to the group (and which I bet receives a lot of links, even when it's referring to a group and not THE group).What if "Whispermen" is, similarly, the name of the group?

Do you remember the Trickster with "Sarah Jane Adventures"? Is there a link between Trickster and Whisper Man? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Machal1 (talk • contribs) .
