Talk:March of the Adipose

Prop Delete

Rationale

See Talk:Skirmish at Tranquil Repose. This is flatly absurd. This kind of article needs to be rooted out of this wiki. Except in very rare cases articles should not be created for events or things that have no names. Battles in particular do not deserve their own names/pages unless the name is given in a primary source. The article's lead says "the March of the Adipose was the name given to . . . " But the thing is, it was given that name by a visual effects guy. It's a backstage name, not an in-universe name. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 07:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Against Deletion

• The evil dude - This event is quite important to the 21st century whoniverse, therefore it deserves an article. You could rename it to "Mass Birthing of the Adipose" or something similar, but this article must stay.

It has an article: Partners in Crime. You can do wonderful things with text flow in other articles by using a masked link with something like [[Partners in Crime|insert any name you want here]]. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 17:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

• Tangerineduel 18:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC) It is an important-ish event, made all the more important because of the events seen in Turn Left, it's one of the stand out events for S4. It's also the in-universe representative of the outcomes of Partners in Crime.

But it's in no way an in-universe name. "March of the Adipose" is what The Mill (and possibly the tech notes on the script) called it. It also appeared in one-sentence synopses for TV schedules, and is likely the name Murray Gold gave to the music underlying one scene. Indeed, it actually refers to just one scene — the one where Sylvia comes out of the pub and sees the Adipose start flooding the streets and a few get squashed by a taxi. It's definitely not the name of the whole Foster plan, and therefore wouldn't be the basis for an "alternative march" in the US in Turn Left. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 21:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

It's an alright name. At least someone said it was called 'March of the Adipose', okay it's not in-universe, but it is in important event. The content is valid. The name is more rather than less valid. Given what happens prior to the march perhaps 'Induction of the Adipose' might be a good title...--Tangerineduel 13:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
