Talk:List of individual Time Lords and Gallifreyans

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Where we goin' with this article?

If this is a list, it needs to be comprehensive in itself. We can't "cheat" by saying "see main article". If it's not meant to be a comprehensive list, there's not much point to the article, and it should be deleted.

I'd go with delete, any of the useful information can go on more specific pages. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:15, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Reversion

Mini-mitch reverted my edit to this page (which took me some time to do) that otherwise seemed accepted without discussion. I reverted that edit for that reason (no discussion), but will open up the discussion here.

Points in favor:

  • More complete and comprehensive than the old list - See above, as this page has been called out as uncomprehensive in the old version. I've gone through all the lists I could find and added every Time Lord I could find, almost doubling the total list.
  • Better sourced - With the exception of a few small lists outside of the charts (to be added soon), every name has an official source (appearances or mention) noted. This is specially needed on pages that are currently redlinked.

Points in opposition:

  • On my browser, the first chart is cut off due to Wikia's system. That is easily avoided by clicking the icon to view the entire thing.
  • Size issue, maybe? No real way to avoid that and remain a comprehensive and well-sourced list.

Please discuss before reverting.--Tim Thomason 11:37, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
