:: I personally feel like the most intuitive thing would be to cover (A), (B) and (C) on [[First Doctor]] and (B) on [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)]] (whose rename to [[Dr. Who]] I am not convinced should have been carried out without a discussion!). While an (A)-exclusive [[First Doctor (An Unearthly Child)]] page is a nice idea in theory I don't think it would have much practical use beyond making an abstract point about the equal validites of "Cushing-only" and "Hartnell-only" perspectives, and I am also skeptical that you'll ever get a consensus in that particular direction, though we'll see. | :: I personally feel like the most intuitive thing would be to cover (A), (B) and (C) on [[First Doctor]] and (B) on [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)]] (whose rename to [[Dr. Who]] I am not convinced should have been carried out without a discussion!).

:: Furthermore, I feel like there is a degree to which (B) isn't a wholly coherent thing. ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)|Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'' is quite arguably intended as a variant account of "the First Doctor" on par with the Target or Cigarette Sweets version — but the authorial intent on something like ''[[Dr. Who & the Mechonoids (comic story)|Dr. Who & the Mechonoids]]'' is altogether different! While it'd be hard to formalise, I would really like to refine the above into a solution where we cover "classic-era material where Dr Who is played by Peter Cushing" on [[First Doctor]] to a greater extent than we would stuff like ''…and the Mechanoids'' or ''House on Oldark Moor'', which are more directly "The Cushing Doctor(TM) ''as opposed'' to the First Doctor, whether in televised or 60s-EU-flavour".

The distinction between (B) and (C) (let alone between A and B) may be anachronistic when talking about the 60s stuff, but it's not anachronistic when referring to latter-day "Cushingverse" efforts, and we need to cover ''those'' fairly, too.
