Time to add it?

We already know that Matt Smith will continue as the Doctor in Series 7, but now (according to Matt's FB page) John Fay will be writing for it as well. Witoki 19:15, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, I also highlighted this announcment in the forums -- Michael Downey 19:22, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

A new source has been commissioned by the BBC stating that 14 new episodes are confirmed and all to be starring Matt Smith. Can this page be created now? -- Michael Downey 18:45, June 7, 2011 (UTC) - Piers Wenger will also be leaving his position as executive producer -- Michael Downey 18:48, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Moffat has now also confirmed "14 eps + Matt DEFINITELY." hered ●●● 15:24, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

• He also confirmed it will be broadcast in 2012

So now we have official confirmation can this page be made and then locked? -- Michael Downey 16:29, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Both of you have asked, and the answer is no. It way to early to even think about making it. Yes, we have a BBC source, but it is too early, to premature to make it. It will be made after Series 6 has finished airing. Mini-mitch\talk 15:18, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Why is it premature to be made? This wikia go's of solid facts and we have them therefore they should be documented. I know all admins panic when making pages likes these because of vandals and rumours but all you can do is state the facts and then lock it! -- Michael Downey 15:21, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Michael Downey, the Series 6 page was created while Series 5 was still going. I think a good example was the Series 5 (The Sarah Jane Adventures) page. It was created while Series 3 was still going as the BBC had confirmed episodes starring Elisabeth Sladen. That's all it had written on it. Something like "Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures has been confirmed to be broadcast in 2011 by the BBC. Elisabeth Sladen will resume her role as Sarah Jane Smith" and then a reference to a BBC page. That was all. Of course, after Lis Sladen's tragic death, that page got a bit rumourful, but I think it was good until then. We should create a Series 6 page that says: "Series 6 or Season 33 has been confirmed to be broadcast in 2012. It will consist of 14 episodes, one of which will be written by John Fay. Matt Smith will reprise his role as the Doctor" and lock it until later. Its premature, but its been done and worked before. Bigredrabbit 06:22, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

The BBC is now loudly talking about it, and a post is up on the Doctor Who website as well. d ●●● 15:53, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oh come on now

Apparently, we're getting a full Series 7, just not all of it in 2012. Ugh. d ●●● 21:56, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

• Though there's already murmurs that the plan might be a late 2012 / early 2013 season and then another full 2013 season for the 50th anniversary... could be interesting. d ●●● 22:03, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Rumors

Just a quick point on the rumors section, if you read the sources, they never actually say that River or Jack are going to come back, just a "maybe or maybe not, who knows, could be, I hope so." That's not a rumor. A rumor is "a statement or claim of questionable accuracy, from no known reliable source, usually spread by word of mouth." They aren't actually making a statement or claim in the sources. Therefore, the 'rumors' about River and Jack should be removed. --Bold Clone 18:13, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
