Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully. The proposal that follows is vital to the future of you all… Given that this is the 51st anniversary of the Master, I think it is particularly appropriate that today be the day we finally address the long yearned re-split of [[The Master]]. | Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully.

It should be noted from the start that splitting the page is, in itself, non-controversial. We have a cacophony of precedent for splitting individual incarnations of a Time Lord (e.g., the Monk, the Rani, Romana) –but I suspect that won’t even be debated. There’s a fairly broad consensus on [[Talk:The Master]] which suggests to me that the Master-split is a question of when and how, not if. Indeed, [[User:CzechOut]] agreed as much when the matter was raised in the Discussions area some time back, merely arguing against doing so through a Discussions thread rather than a proper Forum debate. The reasons that the pages were merged back in 2010/2011 were that (1) there were remarkably few Master incarnations and thus it wouldn’t be confusing and (2) there aren’t narrative names for the various incarnations. Both of these reasons have aged rather poorly. | It should be noted from the start that splitting the page is, in itself, non-controversial.
