Talk:Vampire planet

Vampire planet name

This page had its content moved to Vampire planet.

The name, which is more of a description than a definitive name comes, I think from The Eight Doctors (novel) at chapter 11.

After much heated debate the rebel leaders had decided that a simple column somewhere in the village would be the most suitable memorial for Tarak - largely because nobody had the skill to carve a statue. The arts on the vampire planet were still in a very primitive state.

I don't think its usage in this paragraph is enough to constitute a name for the planet, but I'm presenting the information here just in case anyone's curious. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:38, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

I redirected it to Vampire planet because that's what the Seventh Doctor and, I think, his companions refered to it as in Blood Harvest. I'm aware that this isn't the planet's real name, just a description that comes from their experiences with vampires on the world. But I think if we can find a good enough name that is provided in Doctor Who media, anything is better than Unnamed planet (story name). -- User:Steed 13:11, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough.--HarveyWallbanger ☎ 17:50, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

May I redirect it, then? User:Steed 1:13, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

I suggest you ask User:Tangerineduel on his talk page, since he's the one who opposed the name at first. He may not see this talk page for a while but he'll be sure to get a message on his page. Shambala108 ☎ 05:18, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Can anyone produce the quotes from Blood Harvest?--Skittles the hog - talk 08:39, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

"I tried to capture him, missed, chased him to the Vampire Planet and missed again" - page 273. Steed ☎ 20:47, March 28, 2015 (UTC)

There's also the same scene with Romana depicted in two novels.

"I spent quite a lot of time on the vampire planet myself." - Blood Harvest page 282

"I spent quite a lot of time on the vampire planet myself." - Goth Opera page 117

Can we please redirect or rename this page, or is more evidence needed? Steed ☎ 02:30, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

And yes, it is capitalised on page 273 and not 282. Steed ☎ 02:31, October 5, 2015 (UTC)
