Talk:Henrik & Son

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Merger

Gotta say, I completely disagree with the merger.

First off, this alternate counterpart was introduced and named in 2006, while The Time Traveller's Almanac — which built on a lot of information from tie-in websites — was published in 2008, so it's more of a case of that book retroactively applying the name to the "main universe" version.

This is not comparable to Millingdale, as that was a unique case of the website containing references to both the Doctor's universe and Pete's World without any form of distinction making having two separate articles impossible; this is not the case here.

Thirdly, there is no reason to merge the contents of the article under T:MERGE, as this page exceeds the amount of information that can just be stated in a single alternate realities section.

Fourth, this is very clearly the main article that uses the name "Henrik & Son"; the main universe version can just have a redirect at Henrik & Son (the Doctor's universe) or Henrik & Son (The Time Traveller's Almanac).

Must admit I've been having my own doubts. Should probably have just been a rename template rather than a merge request. Think I just saw the BTS section on Millingdale and thought it might be easier if we just merge the two, but I agree with your points and you are entirely correct in that both versions of Henrik's should stay separate.
Based on one being more commonly known as Henrik's and the other more commonly known as Henrik & Son, I'm also happy to go with a simple redirect. Think Henrik & Son (the Doctor's universe) makes more sense, as that should cause less confusion if users search for such in the search bar. 66 Seconds 09:01, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
