Rename
I agree with the user who posted the rename: lots of robots have aliases. Here, "Paul Smith" is the alias and should be used over "The Inspector". 66 Seconds ☎ 23:24, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
- If you could give a few examples. By the way, I don't agree with the last part of the rename-template's explanation. The alias Paul Smith is in no way its real name. --DCLM ☎ 23:37, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
- How do you know it wasn't? It is the only name given and we know zero about him. As for examples, well, there is K-9. Or would you like a robot with a human name? Dutch, Boris, Violet. Or would you like a name that is clearly not the robot's actual name, in fact, we are pretty sure the robot didn't have any name and was not sentient, but then somebody started calling him that and the page is using this name? Remember Rory (Handbot)? He's even in Legacy (video game). Point is: names are good for disambiguation, while The Inspector will someday be used for a Time Lord, I'm sure.

- You missed Kamelion haha But yes, I agree with Amorkuz, 66 and whoever proposed the rename. Xx-connor-xX ☎ 23:56, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
