Talk:Black Archive

Bulletin board on display?

Given the existence of the close-up photos in this article, plus we see Peter Davison standing by the board during the Ultimate Companion documentary, presumably that means this must be on display at the Doctor Who Experience. If so, that should be noted in the Behind the Scenes. The photos are also detailed enough that an inventory of who is featured in the images could probably be added too. 23skidoo ☎ 13:19, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

Separate pages for different Black Archive facilities

I believe its confusing to not have separate pages for the Black Archives seen in Invasion of the Bane and The Day of the Doctor, given that the depictions do not resemble each other in the slightest. As far as I can find, there is no actual source which discusses both Black Archives at the same time, or relates the Sarah Jane events to the Tower of London Archive. There's a sense in connecting them, as both TV stories say that their Archives are "the Black Archive", where UNIT keeps all their alien tech, but I believe there is more ambiguity there with the fact that other sources have given us many more Black Archive facilities. The fact that several stories firmly indicate that the Tower of London is the only Black Archive and that it contains all UNIT's artefacts means that there's a value in having a page just on the Tower of London version.

I would propose renaming this page Black Archive, Tower of London while keeping Black Archive as a redirect to the Tower of London version, as it is the facility that almost all stories refer to when they mention the Black Archive. Black Archive facility (Enemy of the Bane) could be used to cover the facility seen in SJA and mentioned a few times after. Does this add up? TheChampionOfTime ☎ 14:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh, nevermind, I see that The Ghost of Bannerman Road (audio story) has in-universe established the two facilities as separate. I think its therefore fair game to create Black Archive facility (Enemy of the Bane). The remaining problem is, I suppose, that if this page is moved to Black Archive, Tower of London, what should be on the page just called Black Archive? Just a redirect?
