:::::: It is completely routine to separate pages for species and characters. They live in different parts of the category tree. As SOTO already explained, they have different focus. There is quite a lot of personalised information about this Pting: it killed [[Astos]], it encountered the Doctor, it ate the sonic screwdriver. That this info is not on the page is regrettable as this is what the biography is all about. And this information would not be appropriate (or at least severely curtailed) on the species page. And, as already mentioned, there is plenty of information about the species that would not be appropriate on the character page. I agree with SOTO that the topic could be covered without the second page. But this case is much better suited for two pages, which would contain almost disjoint information in this case. Finally, think of future proofing. When another Pting appears, and it inevitably will, in the comics most probably, its info would also be put on the species page? And then another? That's not a very good plan for the future.

::::::: I was thinking in that case, couldn't we wait until more appear? --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:45, November 7, 2018 (UTC) | |||
:::::::: The point of future proofing is not to wait for the future to occur. It has been well-established that there is clear information relating solely to this Pting that would be out of place or detrimentally truncated on the species page. Have you got any further points to add to the discussion? --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:25, November 7, 2018 (UTC) | |||
::::::::: If we had only one page still and were considering whether to create the second one, sure. Why create yourself extra work that might not be needed. But we are now in a state with two pages. So it would be extra potentially useless work to delete the second one. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:27, November 7, 2018 (UTC) | |||
