::Okay, I can confirm that ''Pack Animals'' does not say Colin Davies, nor does it give Banana ''any'' name. A quick Google search told me that the cause of the problem may be [http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=47027 this fan fic] ("Colin Davies, mate. But everyone calls me Banana Boat"). Obviously per [[T:NO FANFIC]] this is invalid, so we should definitely rename this page back to [[Banana Boat]].<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 08:58, July 22, 2013 (UTC) | ::Okay, I can confirm that ''Pack Animals'' does not say Colin Davies, nor does it give Banana ''any'' name.

:::No, wait. Going through the history of the page, an IP user changed the name in the lead [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Colin_Davies?diff=prev&oldid=180438 in this diff]. He sourced it to ''[[The Torchwood Archives]]'', which, being non-fiction, [[T:VALID|is not a valid DWU source]]. [[User:Bigredrabbit|Bigredrabbit]] then moved the page based on that lead [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Colin_Davies?diff=prev&oldid=273924 here]. | |||
:::I propose either renaming it back to [[Banana Boat]] and noting the alternate name in a BTS section, or keeping the name but marking it as {{tlx|conjecture}}. I personally do not see the need for a conjecture name in this case when we have a perfectly usable "Banana Boat".<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 09:05, July 22, 2013 (UTC) | |||
