Time to add it?

We already know that Matt Smith will continue as the Doctor in Series 7, but now (according to Matt's FB page) John Fay will be writing for it as well. Witoki 19:15, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, I also highlighted this announcment in the forums -- Michael Downey 19:22, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

A new source has been commissioned by the BBC stating that 14 new episodes are confirmed and all to be starring Matt Smith. Can this page be created now? -- Michael Downey 18:45, June 7, 2011 (UTC) - Piers Wenger will also be leaving his position as executive producer -- Michael Downey 18:48, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Moffat has now also confirmed "14 eps + Matt DEFINITELY." hered ●●● 15:24, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

• He also confirmed it will be broadcast in 2012

So now we have official confirmation can this page be made and then locked? -- Michael Downey 16:29, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Both of you have asked, and the answer is no. It way to early to even think about making it. Yes, we have a BBC source, but it is too early, to premature to make it. It will be made after Series 6 has finished airing. Mini-mitch\talk 15:18, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Why is it premature to be made? This wikia go's of solid facts and we have them therefore they should be documented. I know all admins panic when making pages likes these because of vandals and rumours but all you can do is state the facts and then lock it! -- Michael Downey 15:21, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Michael Downey, the Series 6 page was created while Series 5 was still going. I think a good example was the Series 5 (The Sarah Jane Adventures) page. It was created while Series 3 was still going as the BBC had confirmed episodes starring Elisabeth Sladen. That's all it had written on it. Something like "Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures has been confirmed to be broadcast in 2011 by the BBC. Elisabeth Sladen will resume her role as Sarah Jane Smith" and then a reference to a BBC page. That was all. Of course, after Lis Sladen's tragic death, that page got a bit rumourful, but I think it was good until then. We should create a Series 6 page that says: "Series 6 or Season 33 has been confirmed to be broadcast in 2012. It will consist of 14 episodes, one of which will be written by John Fay. Matt Smith will reprise his role as the Doctor" and lock it until later. Its premature, but its been done and worked before. Bigredrabbit 06:22, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

The BBC is now loudly talking about it, and a post is up on the Doctor Who website as well. d ●●● 15:53, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oh come on now

Apparently, we're getting a full Series 7, just not all of it in 2012. Ugh. d ●●● 21:56, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

• Though there's already murmurs that the plan might be a late 2012 / early 2013 season and then another full 2013 season for the 50th anniversary... could be interesting. d ●●● 22:03, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Rumors

Just a quick point on the rumors section, if you read the sources, they never actually say that River or Jack are going to come back, just a "maybe or maybe not, who knows, could be, I hope so." That's not a rumor. A rumor is "a statement or claim of questionable accuracy, from no known reliable source, usually spread by word of mouth." They aren't actually making a statement or claim in the sources. Therefore, the 'rumors' about River and Jack should be removed. --Bold Clone 18:13, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Both of them are rumours. Rumours mean "uncertain or doubtful of the truth" (Oxford English Dictionary). Both rumours link to series 7, the site has been noted to be very reliable in the past and also, it uses interviews as their sources for each. The site does not make up the rumours, nor are they confirmed facts. They have interviews which hint towards it, which makes it a rumour. If the way it's word suggests it a rumour then we add it. Of course we won't add "We hope Jack will be back", but if it says Matt Smith, Steven Moffat, Alex Kingston or whoever has hinted at the return of X and the source mentions series 7, then it becomes a rumour. MM/Want to talk? 18:22, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Your problem is that the sources are just that: "We hope they will be back." In the source for River, all that point towards River returning is this: “I’d love to [return]. As long as we feel that there are still stories to tell, I’m happy to continue.” That is not a factual statement that is doubtful of the truth. That is a stated desire; Kingston wants to return. We have nothing more than that to go on from that source. This is excatly the same as the discussion we had over Torchwood. Their return might be hinted with "maybe they will come back," but they also say" who knows if I will come back?" --Bold Clone 18:42, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Between 2012 and 2013

This is untrue. I don't believe it. It can't be spread over two years. This should be deleted immediantly. And actually I think the page should be deleted. BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 15:48, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
