I don't think moving it to Song (I Went to a Marvellous Party) makes sense, any more than moving Mr Smith to Smith (Invasion of the Bane).
If anything, maybe it would make sense to move him to The Doctor (I Went to a Marvellous Party), since he's not actually called "Mr Song" in the story, just in the credits, and he doesn't give his true name, just tries to pretend he's the Doctor. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 12:25, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

- I agree that no variation of Mr Song can be good since it is not his name and it is not used in-universe. I would also argue against using variations of The Doctor for similar reasons:
- he is not the Doctor;
- he does not look like any incarnation of the Doctor.
- I'm not sure there was another new character trying to impersonate a future incarnation of the Doctor before. But it seems wrong to call an imposter by the name of the one being impersonated, especially if the impersonated character is himself present in-universe. I would propose to use the naming scheme applied to nameless Daleks, Cybermen, etc. In other words, provide the name of the species followed by a descriptor if any.
