Talk:Man with boat (Planet of the Spiders)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Using the name from the novelisation

As decided in Thread:167022, it is important whether the name is easily discoverable. "Customer" does not appear in the story and contradicts the novelisation. The credits call him "Man with boat", still a descriptive term not appearing in dialogue. Thus, using a name from the novelisation is preferable, with a redirect from the credits ensuring that he is discoverable either way. Amorkuz 20:01, October 29, 2017 (UTC)

However, the page Hopkins (Planet of the Spiders) claims that it is him and not the "Man with boat" is turned into Bob Armitage in the novelisation. Must rewatch before making a final judgment. Amorkuz 20:11, October 29, 2017 (UTC)
Final report: the two characters are rearranged in the novelisation, making either name unsuitable for the page. Thus, I implemented the original rename suggestion to base the page name on the credits rather than on the interpretation of the scene. Amorkuz 23:12, October 29, 2017 (UTC)
