Talk:Christopher Eccleston (in-universe)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
I don't see why we should assume this alleged character is called Christopher Eccleston? Yes, obviously the post is, from the real world, a reference to Eccleston's actual upbringing in Salford, but it contains no actual mention of his name, nor is there any other in-universe reason I can think of to surmise it. If there are other references anywhere to a Christopher Eccleston of this description existing in universe, I would suggest adding them ASAP; otherwise I don't know that this page serves much of a purpose.

- I mean we should. A boy who grew up in Salford in the 1970s who looks like the Ninth Doctor.... of course that is a reference to Eccelston. Is him name mentioned? No, but neither are a bunch of characters in {{Doctor Who individuals}}; a lack of a given name is not just reason not to have a page. An "in-universe reason [...]" to surmise it? It is current practise to say "does this character exist in a source we deem valid or invalid? Yes? Then they get a page." Characters with a lack of notability doesn't mean we don't have pages for them. 12:41, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
