Talk:Tempero-spatial

Adjective

User:Jack "BtR" Saxon added a deletion tag due to the Wiktionary page calling it an adjective, but I have reasom to believe that the Wiktionary page is incorrect. Temporospatial is a name for spacetime, surely making it a noun. Temporospatial isn't used to describe anything. Also of note, the spelling in Iris Wildthyme and the Unholy Ghost does spell it differently, possibly to establish a different meaning, as spacetime is used in a slightly different comtext than tempero-spatial.

"Temporospatial" is an adjective, meaning "of spacetime". And the different spelling is because it's a pun on the Maelstrom having a bad temper. (EDIT: A pun on the Maelstrom, not Iris.) -- Saxon (✉️) 21:25, September 3, 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough. Pity it's an adjective, as it would've made a nice little bit of info for The Maelstrom. Epsilon the Eternal ☎ 21:35, September 3, 2020 (UTC)

I see no reason not to just create Tempero-spatiality. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 22:00, September 3, 2020 (UTC)

I think for the same reason there isn't a page on gender fluidity. Because the phrase hasn't been used in Doctor Who media. -- Saxon (✉️) 22:05, September 3, 2020 (UTC)

That seems like splitting hairs to me. I'm fairly sure if we had a source for the adjectival "gender fluid" we would created "gender fluidity". After all, I'm not sure any DWU source happens to use transgender as a noun rather than adjective, but we still have the page on the basis that it can be used as a noun. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 22:11, September 3, 2020 (UTC)
