Talk:Doctor Who (IDW)

Name of article disputed

This title's name is confusing, in light of the presence of Doctor Who (USA). One alternative is to distinguish between the two American titles called Doctor Who by appending their first year of publication, as is standard practice in comics cataloguing. Hence, the name of this article would become Doctor Who (2008). Please click here to add your comments to the discussion. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 06:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

• I agree that since there's now an original comic book series out through IDW (unlike the earlier release which were all reprints) if anything it would make more sense to call this article Doctor Who (USA). I think the best idea is to rename the other article Doctor Who (Marvel Comics) - or Marvel US - and keep this as Doctor Who (IDW). Use the publisher name rather than the year of release as someone searching for this info is more likely to know the publisher. 23skidoo 23:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Just to add to the above, IDW has just released a graphic novel compilation of the first 6 issues which give it the title Agent Provocateur. Therefore by rights this article should probably be renamed Doctor Who: Agent Provocateur with "Doctor Who (IDW)" becoming perhaps an overview article, as IDW seems to be intending to publish different mini-series (The Forgotten being the one starting next month) in lieu of an ongoing title. 23skidoo 04:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
