I don't know much about the prior discussion, but I do think a page like this should exist - and even more so for sonic screwdrivers, which absolutely don't appear in every episode. Of course, the lists of individual interiors and exteriors are more useful, but if you want a comprehensive list of everything that's ever featured it, there ought to be somewhere to find it. Of course, if there was a discussion which formally ruled this page couldn't exist, I suppose I'd concede, but I'd still disagree with the conclusion. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 23:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- The talk page for the sonic screwdriver list of appearances still exists: Talk:The Doctor's sonic screwdriver - list of appearances.
- And in it User:SOTO agrees that a Doctor's TARDIS list of appearances would be nonsensical.
- I concur with the delete tag's sentiments that it would be hard to maintain an accuracy or present useful information. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- But surely it being hard shouldn't be reason for it to be removed? Even if it's unlikely people will be able to easily look through it due to its length, I stand by this page existing being better than it not existing. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 13:12, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- If I might offer a middle ground, we now have a bunch of narrower pages like TARDIS exterior (An Unearthly Child)/Appearances. I submit that this page could act as a hub for these, like The Doctor/Appearances acting as a hub for incarnation LOAs, even if it doesn't itself hold a humongous list. Perhaps once those sub-lists are more complete we could look at having a list of "unidentified-exterior" TARDIS appearances on this page itself, similar to the unsorted "undated events" Doctor appearances. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 14:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- That sounds like a much better suggestion. Even if this page were complete, it would be difficult to gain much from it. I like the hub suggestion, and perhaps it could be applied to other similarly intractable LOAs like with the sonic screwdriver, but also London/Appearances, England/Appearances, Earth/Appearances, etc. Danochy ☎ 21:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
