Was there a discussion about moving this page from [[Susan Foreman]] to [[Susan]] that I missed? I presume it was moved either to be neutral on the Foreman vs English matter (which seems strange given that Foreman is far more common and policy is to use TV names over those in novelisations anyway) or because she changes her name to Campbell later on (which again seems strange given that Jo goes from Grant to Jones but hasn't been moved to simply [[Jo]]).

: [[User:NateBumber]] added a rename tag on July 18th last, I think under the assumption that there would be a discussion, and then [[User:Doug86]] just did the rename the very next day. I'm a little puzzled too. I suspect Nate's original reasoning may have been something else entirely, though: that "Susan Foreman" (or indeed "English") was just a temporary alias adopted during ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' for paperwork purposes, which she never uses again, and that for most of her tenure her name really ''is'' simply "Susan". But that's overlooking that "Susan Foreman" continued to be used in credits throughout the TV Hartnell era. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 15:43, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

:: Yeah, the credits thing is a strong argument which I wasn't aware of when I proposed the rename, which would have hopefully come up in the discussion I meant to start with the proposal. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 15:54, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
