Talk:John Hurt (in-universe): Difference between revisions

I recognize that Epsilon, but there is still precedent for treating minor things like this in "In the DWU" sections on RW pages, and, indeed, it's current policy, see [[Timothy Dalton]]. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

: Ah, but ''is'' that policy? Has that been written anywhere? Additionally, I want to speak up, as to abolish that practice, as there are ''numerous'' issues with it. Also, read [[T:EVIL TWIN]], as it explains we create pages for any nouns mentioned, etc, etc. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><tt>Epsilon</tt></span>]]''' '''[[doctor who:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 20:04, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

::You know as well as I do that "current policy" means "the way we do things", even if that itself is a circular reading of [[T:BOUND]] and I've expressed my view that it should be rewritten. I also am aware of the policy in question, but it's just not relevant to the fact that we currently deal with ''references'' to DWU actors in universe in this way.  

::And arguably it ''is'' written down.

::: Therefore, to ensure that our use of dab terms remains consistent, fictional references of real people go on the {{tlx|real world}} page.

::There was a ruling about this! (Yes, one that is premised on things that are no longer true and definitely needs to be revisited, but a ruling nevertheless.) Unless there was one since explicitly allowing pages like [[Paul Magrs (Bafflement and Devotion)]] to exist (hard to tell with dead forums), ''those'' pages are more likely to be in violation of policy than the idea of deleting this page is. And, again, I'm not suggesting we delete those pages, the canonical reading of [[T:BOUND]] suggests that they're allowed. But if you're complaining about policy not being written down, you should maybe consider that the policy in question ''was'' written down, and it's the things you want to change this to be more in accordance with that are the "unwritten policy".
