 :::I '''support''' on common sense grounds as well. I agree that the ''Citation Needed'' justification is pretty weak, but the overwhelming use of the name, partnered with the contradictory in-universe names, makes Meta-Crisis the best name, in my opinion.

+I completely '''support''' the renaming of this page. There really should be no excuse to make pages ''harder'' to find for no real reason. And as you said now with the [[Fugitive Doctor]] and [[War Doctor]]s, this rename makes the most sense.

+No sense in drawing this out.
+To begin with, I think '''it's been shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that [[Tenth Doctor (Journey's End)]] is a suboptimal name'''; [[The Doctor (Journey's End)]], if we wanted a wholly neutral name, would already be superior.

+But moreover, '''there is broad support for applying the [[Fugitive Doctor]] precedent and naming this page [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]], in line with BBC marketing and common fan parlance'''. The conflict between various sources on whether he adopted the name "John Smith", "Corin" or simply "the Doctor", with none of them clearly beating the others in terms of breadth of usage, means we really can't use ''any'' of these names, and should go back to his original, non-controversial appearance, where he is just "the Doctor", and is defined in terms of the Meta-Crisis. It's simply the best, most neutral non-dabbed name for this page. [[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']] [[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]] 14:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
