Talk:Romana

merge the articles?

I think that information on Romana II belongs in that article not here. then I thought, maybe want to merge the articles Romana I, Romana II and Romana III into one? --Stardizzy2 19:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it's important to have the three Romana articles as well as the overarching Romana article. This main Romana article is a good place to have the various odd / contradicting bits of information, with the Romana I, II and III article allowing for more in depth information. But the Romana article probably could do with a bit of a thin down / merger of info into the other three. --Tangerineduel 12:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Is it possible that the audiobooks and the magazines aren't actually canon to the series? --TenCents 23:31, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Dimensions in Time

It says in the behind the scenes that there is no indication of it being Romana, but after the companion escapes she confirms that she was Romana when asked by the doctor what form she was in when the Rani captured her. --Jono R 19:12, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Romanadvoratrelundar

Should this page be moved to Romanadvoratrelundar? Every other character whose full name we know has there full name as the page title(like Rose Tyler instead of Rose. Also in The Ribos Operation the Doctor made up the nickname Romana, and Romana said that she preffered her full name (or even "Fred) to Romana.Icecreamdif 22:37, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

In this case I think the more known name should be used, as when we head towards Romana I and Romana II and even First Doctor etc these are names that are the most known. Romanadvoratrelundar can remain a redirect the same goes for Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh which redirects to Goth. --Tangerineduel 07:37, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Romana makes more sense to me - to me it's the name she's known by - more like Amy Pond v. Amelia Pond than Rose Tyler v. Rose 207.171.242.3 10:53, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

If the page is going to be from an in-universe perspective, it should be her full name, not her nickname. Unless Amy legally changed her name at some point, her's should also be at Amelia Pond. Also, in The Ribos Operation it was implied that before she met the Doctor, she had always been Romanadvoratrelundar, and wasn't called Romana until she met the Doctor, when she was already 140 years old.Icecreamdif 23:30, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
