Merger with Emperor?

On this wiki we usually have one page covering both versions of a gendered word. For instance, Lady President redirects to Lord President, and War King redirects to War Queen (since "War Queen" was used first). So Empress and Emperor should definitely be merged, but the question is, which one was used first? – N8 19:36, October 25, 2018 (UTC)

Unless Dalek Emperor appeared earlier than I remember, I suspect Kublai Khan takes the biscuit. Amorkuz 19:44, October 25, 2018 (UTC)
You're right: the Dalek Emperor's first appearance is in the Cadet Sweets cards, but we're not sure when in 1964 those came out, so Marco Polo is the safest bet. But weirdly enough, Kublai is only referred to as "the Khan" in that story, never "the Emperor" ... whereas he does refer to his wife as "the Empress". Looks like the merge tag belongs on Emperor, in that case! – N8 19:56, October 25, 2018 (UTC)
