Name
Given the Torchwood website cited on the article here, states in the letter that the guy names 'Banana Boat' script's last name is 'Davies' should this page be moved to Davies (Banana Boat), or just leave it as the dialogue established name? --Tangerineduel 07:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think it should be kept as is until further dialogue establishers his first name --Smokin Fish 09:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I can confirm that Pack Animals does not say Colin Davies, nor does it give Banana any name. A quick Google search told me that the cause of the problem may be this fan fic ("Colin Davies, mate. But everyone calls me Banana Boat"). Obviously per T:NO FANFIC this is invalid, so we should definitely rename this page back to Banana Boat.
--SOTO ☎ 08:58, July 22, 2013 (UTC)- No, wait. Going through the history of the page, an IP user changed the name in the lead in this diff. He sourced it to The Torchwood Archives, which, being non-fiction, is not a valid DWU source. Bigredrabbit then moved the page based on that lead here.
- I propose either renaming it back to Banana Boat and noting the alternate name in a BTS section, or keeping the name but marking it as {{conjecture}}. I personally do not see the need for a conjecture name in this case when we have a perfectly usable "Banana Boat".
