:: We ought to consider Occam's Razor; the simplest possible answer is likely the correct one. Two characters in two stories have exactly the same chronology up until a certain point, and one is stated to be branch off another? That another is 99% likely to be the first one. Worst case, we can later split the pages; we should not decide to cover characters that will effect our readers' interpretations of the story on conjecture, especially if it goes against the intent of the story. That just leads to mistakes in the future, and even official stories begin adopting the misconceptions. And if we have separate pages, their mere existence will lead many to outright believe that they are entirely alternate universe/timeline individuals without underatanding the nuances. <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"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 09:06, 25 April 2022 (UTC) | :: We ought to consider Occam's Razor; the simplest possible answer is likely the correct one.

I've read over most of this discussion a few times over the past few weeks now. If it helps, I could dig through all three stories and find everything that may allude to whether this reality is an alternate timeline or parallel universe. Then we could compare the results and go with whichever has more evidence backing it. It might take a while, but I'd be more than happy to do it if it helps resolve this discussion.
