:::I think we might need a forum thread to determine when an alternate character gets his/her own page and when an alternate character merely gets a section of the existing character's page. There should probably be some kind of standard guidelines we can use instead of the current inconsistencies.

::::At the moment it just seems best to go with characters whose alternate selves have an important enough role to warrant their own pages to give them one. Minor alternate counterparts who get minimal airtime aren't worth it but this one??? Definitely. And probably the River Song's World versions of Amy and Rory too since they were completely separate versions of the character. That world's River really wasn't so she wouldn't get her own page.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] [[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:56, March 11, 2018 (UTC) | ::::At the moment it just seems best to go with characters whose alternate selves have an important enough role to warrant their own pages to give them one.

::::The problem is that "alternate selves that have an important enough role" isn't a well-defined criterion. Personally, I tend to err on the side of "Let's not split things up into uselessly many pages", and with that in mind I don't see a single problem with how River's World is currently covered on [[Amy Pond]], especially since "proper" Amy at least retained memories of her time there. Compare with the recentish merger of [[Kode]] and [[Father Kreiner]] into [[Fitz Kreiner]], which is a very similar situation and I think is a model for how such things should work, for maximum clarity. – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 13:47, March 11, 2018 (UTC) | |||
:Does this account for the negated people (like Amy, Rory, River and the Doctor) present in ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'' and the Donna, Wilf and Sylvia present in ''[[Turn Left (TV story)|Turn Left]]'' for instance? Likewise could the same be done for characters in ''[[Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (TV story)|Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS]]'', but then that is where things get messy - where multiple timelines flow and weave into each other. I agree though a formal thread should be made on the issue.
