:Yes, they were. But I feel you didn't read my message clearly enough, but to clarify. This wiki isn't solely a "Dead Romance" wiki, rather it is a Doctor Who wiki. Hence, the average person seeing a page here will be a Doctor Who fan, and so will be familiar with "First" ect being used for Time Lords, or at least people who turn into each other. For ''this'' reason I think we should rename the pages 1, 2, and 4. But this thread isn't actually about renaming Christine Summerfields, it's about the Christinas template. My argument there is that the Christine Summerfields should be removed from it, because they aren't incarnations of Christina Cwej (unlike "Glasses" ect).

The word "counterparts" doesn't appear in The Five Christinas, but we know that the person the five are "imprints" of is Chris Cwej, because a male pronoun is used for him: "even we're imprints of someone else, and I'm sure he was one too, taking after someone he met till bits rubbed off on him he didn't even realize." It's not explained why Tina has enlisted the help of these four Christinas in particular - she initially claims they're the result of her splitting herself in five, but this is immediately contradicted. The only connection between them is that they're all female and that Tina chose them for this particular heist at CERN, so I don't see why they should be grouped separately from other Cwejen. | |||
(Tbh, the story really doesn't say that Eliza or the other Christine Summerfields were Cwejen - the only line that could be interpreted that way is the one I've quoted above, which equates these five girls' relationship with Cwej to Cwej's social mentor/mentee relationship with the Doctor. So of course Eliza bears an "imprint" of Cwej: she was created by him, travelled with him, learnt from him, telepathically inherited his dreams, etc. I didn't think "Eliza = Cwejen" until I heard it was the editorial intent, and I suspect the same was true for whoever first added it to this article.) | |||
I support calling the clones [[Christine Summerfield 1]], [[Christine Summerfield 2]] and [[Christine Summerfield 4]], both because they're separate people and because "First Christine clone" would wrongly imply that there was an original Christine that all four are clones of.
