::::Therefore I see no reason to view the word "Dalek" as a demonym when used as part of an individual Dalek's title. This includes the Time Commander - if it’s explicitly referred to as the "Dalek Time Commander" and not indirectly, such as in a sentence like "the Time Commander was a Dalek", then I believe it's page name should be "Dalek Time Commander" and not "Time Commander". Also, if we are referring to the other Daleks in the [[Dalek Time Squad]] as [[Dalek Prime Strategist]] or [[Dalek Executioner (The Guide to the Dark Times)]], which the Time Commander is also a part of, then there's no need to be explicitly vague with the Time Commander's page name.

::: As I said, I was only playing Devil's advocate; I'm not actually personally against the rename, but merely ensuring that every point is looked over and the decision is taken with all possible precaution. Renames of recurring characters are a pain; best to be ''very'' sure of what we're going with while this guy's appearances list is still relatively small. | |||
::: Hence, still in the same spirit, my answer to your counterarguments: the Time Commander is a unique individual; his name needn't be treated the same way as the titles of various Dalek variants. I would point to [[Emperor of the Restoration]] and (although it has, of course, now been merged) to [[Golden Emperor]] as precedents for unique Daleks' "title-used-as-name" not necessarily having "Dalek" in them.
