::As a new point of data regarding [[The Doctor's sisters]], "Daniel Joyce" did in fact have [[Anne Joyce's daughter|a daughter]] on Earth, so that's one of the Doctor's sisters right there. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 00:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC) | ::As a new point of data regarding [[The Doctor's sisters]], "Daniel Joyce" did in fact have [[Anne Joyce's daughter|a daughter]] on Earth, so that's one of the Doctor's sisters right there. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 00:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC) | ||

== Something to keep in mind == | |||
Since the merger (which I believe has ''significantly'' improved this page), it's come to my attention that it was [[Marc Platt]]'s intention in ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'' that [[Andred]] and [[Leela]]'s [[Leela and Andred's first child|baby]] was [[the Doctor]]. Which would add Leela to the possible identities of [[the Doctor's mother]], which is no problem; and add Andred alongside Ulysses as a possible identity of [[the Doctor's father]] ... which was merged into this page, due to my exhaustive lobbying. :( | |||
Anyway, I've done a bit of head-scratching about what kind of simple heuristic could be used to divide this page without compromising this page's integrity, but I believe I have it: everything from books by [[Lance Parkin]] and [[Kate Orman]] should remain on <nowiki>[[Ulysses]]</nowiki>; everything else (mainly TV Movie-style memories of stargazing, plus Irving Braxiatel's brandy) should be moved to <nowiki>[[The Doctor's father]]</nowiki>; and specific references to the father in Parkin/Orman books, including descriptions of his appearance, should be duplicated in a "Ulysses" section on <nowiki>[[The Doctor's father]]</nowiki>. That way the bulk of the page will still be listed under the Ulysses header in a "Possible identities" section, but the equally-valid Andred implication can also be given appropriate weight. | |||
The whole thing gives me a headache; I'm still waiting on [[User:NateBumber/Sandbox/Ulysses]] to get merged (just for edit history's sake), so I'm in no rush to create a whole new Sandbox for it. But let this stand as a reminder to myself to toss together a page and proper attribution statement for turning [[The Doctor's father]] into a non-redirect ... unless someone wants to beat me to it! :) – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 19:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
