Talk:The Doctor's ninth incarnation

Alternative events?

this is a alternative version of the doctor why we not put it into alternate version catagory in the book davies said paralel events– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doctor other (talk • contribs) 14:30, 30 April 2020.

This has kinda been discussed to death at this point, but the quote about "parallel events" has to be balanced with "all stories are true, all Doctors exist" in the same source, and either way is part of a real-world-focused text which is not in itself a valid source. (Authorial intent as given out-of-universe was used to consign The Infinity Doctors and Doctor Who Unbound to parallel universe status, but always at the conclusion of lengthy special-case forum threads.)

Besides, "parallel events" can mean a lot of things, up to and including these events just unfolding in different places at the same time — "in parallel" — as The Day of the Doctor. The Time War is a weird place. It's perfectly conceivable that several pressings-of-the-Moment would happen alongside each other at its height before collapsing back into a single timeline after Gallifrey disappears, or something along those lines.

As for being an "alternative version", so long as he's not treated by a valid narrative as alternative, we on this Wiki don't make statements about which version of events is 'truer'. An oddity like Doctor Who and the Time War is no less valid than the TV series, and no valid Ninth Doctor is superior to another. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 12:41, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

Alternate versions of the Doctor is for individuals who are explicitly stated to be incarnations of the Doctor from alternate timelines, parallel universes, or aborted timelines.

alternate universe like death somebody saw hitler put a statue to a desk and then that person goes back in time take it smashed time line changed paralel universe like that a person make choice traffic light about stop is red or purple he make is it red but paralel earth separetedby the main he make it purple yeah i think this story like that this should be put in alternate versions .– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doctor other (talk • contribs) .

Potential merge?

As this is quite clearly meant to be Eccleston, shouldn’t this page be merged with the main Ninth Doctor page, for clarity’s sake?
