Split
Shouldn't this article be primary about the DWU John Hurt, with the real-world Hurt in a BTS section? We always give preference to in-universe articles. An alternative — which I find preferable — would be a split between John Hurt (in-universe) and John Hurt (actor) (real-world actor who portrays the Doctor). Or something along those lines.

- Yes it should. I knew something was off but couldn't quite figure out what. Anoted ☎ 06:01, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. If we don't split it (and I'm not really in favor of splitting), the in-universe info should take precedence, and the real-world info should be placed at the end of the article, in the "behind the scenes" section. This would also necessitate removing the "real world" tag. Shambala108 ☎ 14:04, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I've taken a stab at writing this article in an in-universe perspective and putting the real world stuff in a behind the scenes section. Let me know what you think. There's very little on John Hurt in-universe and I can see why splitting this article would be problematic. In-universe is preferred over real-world, and most people will likely be looking for real world John Hurt. But I'm not sure how great of a job we can in a combined article, especially because the infobox has to be moved down. So the question is whether or not this article is too awkward and whether we'd be better off splitting it, even though in-universe Hurt would get preference. Anoted ☎ 16:15, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
- People would go to John Hurt, and then use {{you may}} to get to John Hurt (actor). Not very complicated. Plus, that long BTS section with the infobox looks ridiculous. Also, we should get rid of {{wikipediainfo}}, since we're going to provide all that information in the real world article. --SOTO ☎ 20:35, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
