::Moving the articles would allow us to eliminate the disambiguation from [[Tenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)]], [[Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)]] and [[Twelfth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)]], since they would become [[Quite Handsome Doctor]], [[Shy Doctor]] and [[Handsome Doctor]] respectively.

Name
If this page is to have a Template:Conjecture tag, it may as well be renamed to "The Female Doctor", the moniker used to refer to this incarnation from the script extract released in DWM 328. Epsilon (Contact me) 18:17, October 3, 2020 (UTC)
- Mmmmh. Thing is, that's not great for disambiguation purposes. "Female Doctor" could describe a number of different incarnations of the Doctor. You'd have to go to Female Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death) at which point you just go right back to having to dab anyway, and frankly what's the point?
- Historically we haven't actually needed confirmation of the "Numberth Doctor" form to use it without a conjecture tag. As pointed out by User:Borisashton in the Curse debate, the Eccleston Ninth Doctor wasn't confirmed as the "ninth Doctor" (let alone "the Ninth Doctor") until Series 3 — and I'm not actually sure we yet have a source officially calling Whittaker "the Thirteenth Doctor" in so many words. Certainly we didn't back in 2017, and yet that doesn't mean we put a conjecture tag on her article. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 18:39, October 3, 2020 (UTC)
I only added it because of the wording of the article "an individual who would logically have been called...", but you do make a point there. However, Epsilon also make a point about calling them what the credits identified them as.... hmmm.... 🤔 NightmareofEden ☎ 18:45, October 3, 2020 (UTC)
- Moving the articles would allow us to eliminate the disambiguation from Tenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death), Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death) and Twelfth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death), since they would become Quite Handsome Doctor, Shy Doctor and Handsome Doctor respectively. Lumley's Doctor will require disambiguation regardless, so why not just use the official name she's given in the VHS release? Gowlbag ☎ 03:59, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
