Deep Breath
I am most certainly not head admin — just one of the janitors around here. We typically lock down pages about TV stories until around the time the episode has finished airing on BBC One. You should find Deep Breath (TV story) editable now.

Timing of article creation
Hi again :) As you're relatively new to our little community — or at least so it appears given the fact that you only just started contributing at the end of July — it's perhaps useful to review a very basic concept of our site. We don't allow articles to be created about things until the story in which they first appear are released. See T:OFF REL for more detail.
So when you asked, quite early on the 31st August, why there was no article on Danny Pink, the answer is a pretty simple one. No one had created it yet. It hadn't even been 24 hours since the episode was released in the UK. And for people in the United States dependent upon the West Coast BBC America feed, Into the Dalek had literally just finished transmission. If you were dependent upon getting your DW from iTunes, then you were still a couple of hours from Apple making the episode available.
If you've been spoiled on this season, and you already knew who Danny Pink was, then your impatience is probably understandable. But many of our editors won't have especially known that name until they saw Into the Dalek — when it was already 31st August in the UK.
So getting an article started by 5pm British Standard Time on the 31st thus should be seen as pretty darn snappy — particularly because it's a part of this site's DNA that we're not in any way a news service.
I think you'll find going forward that we typically do get articles for most major characters and concepts in new episodes started within about 24 hours of transmission in the UK. But, of course, that's not a promise or a guarantee. Pages are created according to the interests of our editors and at a pace dependent upon the time they have to volunteer.
