Talk:Grant Gordon
Grant (The Return of Doctor Mysterio)
So, Grant's not given a surname on The Return of Doctor Mysterio, neither in-universe nor on the credits. As Ghost Stories feautred him once again, we decided to wait an check if the comics would use "Gordon" as a surname. The last issue was released this week, and "Gordon" wasn't used in them as well. I believe it's time to finally change the "rename" tag to a "speedy rename". OncomingStorm12th ☎ 01:30, May 25, 2017 (UTC)
- Throughout the internet, everyone seems to agree that the character's surname is "Gordon". If this isn't mentioned in the episode or its credits, any clue where it did come from? – N8 ☎ 17:32, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
3.5 years later, the name "Grant Gordon" is still used very widely across the internet for this character, which leaves this page's name uselessly obtuse. I'm interested in renaming this page to Grant Gordon with Template:Conjecture. Would anyone be opposed? – n8 (☎) 16:32, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
100% agree with N8, this seems like a rather straightforward decision. NoNotTheMemes ☎ 06:26, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- To elaborate on the above, as I said at Talk:Lucy Fletcher, Moffat's use of alliterative names for the main characters was an intentional reference to comic book naming tropes. By accepting the universally-used last name from OOO sources, we'll not only disambiguate this page but also make Moffat's intention clearer. – n8 (☎) 14:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
