Rename

I agree with the proposed rename to make way for a page on the in-universe use of the term. -- Saxon (✉️) 13:12, January 10, 2020 (UTC)

I concur. We never know when an in-universe counterpart might pop up. --DCLM 13:29, January 10, 2020 (UTC)
Well there are already plenty in-universe examples, it's a common title. Off the top of my head Ambril from Snakedance, Mantus from Gallifrey: Time War and Hilda Winters all hold the title and Ronnie Brockman from Big Dig is an actual television director. I'm certain there are plenty of others. For consistency, I would lean against renaming this page to the proposed title. No other page in Category:Production team titles is named like that. There is precedent with a few real-world positions to be disambiguated with (crew), as in Researcher vs Researcher (crew). Or the in-universe term could be disambiguated as something like Director (profession). Toqgers 18:59, May 16, 2020 (UTC)
