Well, to be fair, Penelope Gate is the only character who has been specifically identified ''in-universe'' as being the Doctor's mother. It's the same with [[Ulysses]] as being the Doctor's father. So even if Colfer didn't intend to refer to Penelope when he wrote the e-book, I see no problem with the information from ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'' being added to this page. I can see how their would be a problem with adding information about [[The Woman (The End of Time)|The Woman]], given that there was no in-universe confirmation of her identity.

Givin' a red card to this page
What in the world is going on with this page? How have we conflated every reference to "the Doctor's mother" to Penelope Gale? We're making all sorts of assertions that cannot be supported just because there's a redirect from "the Doctor's mother" to Penelope Gale. There's no way that Eoin Colfer is making a reference to Penelope Gale in A Big Hand for the Doctor. This information is getting conflated simply because OttselSpy25 created a redirect to this page. There is, I would submit, a difference between Penelope Gale and the general concept of "the Doctor's mother".
