Name

Not only is this Master in need of a page name (unless you believe in using disambiguation terms), he's in need of one to be consistently referred to at all. Across the wiki and even his own page, I've seen him referred to by three names: "Reborn Master", "Bald Master", and "Fourteenth Master".

I think "Reborn" is the way to go. Macqueen is notably the first incarnation in the renewed regeneration cycle. Also, "the Reborn Master" is Big Finish's behind-the-scenes name for him, so not only is it a good description, but an official one. Personally I'd lend it more credence than some of the others (looking at you, ""Movie Master") because he is a Big Finish-original incarnation. Furthermore, the other two options are not great. Not only is "Bald" is just kind of silly, especially among the other names; while he is bald I would't say it's a defining feature, and for that matter DWM's "Preacher" Master is also bald. "Fourteenth Master" is dubious because of the various stolen bodies and reversions to the Decayed Master. Trying to prescribe numbers beyond the initial iteration of the Decayed Master is a fool's errand. Chubby Potato ☎ 08:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
