:Well, to be fair, Penelope Gate is the only character who has been specifically identified ''in-universe'' as being the Doctor's mother. It's the same with [[Ulysses]] as being the Doctor's father. So even if Colfer didn't intend to refer to Penelope when he wrote the e-book, I see no problem with the information from ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'' being added to this page. I can see how their would be a problem with adding information about [[The Woman (The End of Time)|The Woman]], given that there was no in-universe confirmation of her identity.

: But, as it were, Penelope Gate is, "The Doctor's Mother". She is the only person in the DWU ever called that, other than [[The Woman (The End of Time)|The Woman]], thus any reference to "The Doctor's Mother" is referencing towards the ''idea'' of "The Doctor's Mother", a concept currently only held by [[Penelope Gate]]. Basically, Penelope Grant is the only identity of "The Doctor's Mother" we've ever known, other than [[Loom|the odd sewing machine]], and so any reference to "The Doctor's Mother" must be "Penelope Gate".

:I could see someone wanting to split up if there were multiple identities to the Doctor's mother, but there aren't. There has only ever been one identity to her. And that's Penelope. It's like if [[Scared Man]] got his own spin-off and got the name "John Jenkins". John Jenkins and Scared Man aren't then separate entities, they're both the same person. "The Doctor's Mother" got a name in a spinn-off book and it was "Penelope Grate", and there's no reason to make separate pages for those two names.
