::::Yeah, ''that's'' the issue. Which other name to choose if not Galen, since there are multiple. "Galen of Pergamon" might work, given its usage in another story, but I think it violates our naming conventions. I'm not altogether worried about the fact that the planet actually appeared vs the physician has merely been referenced, in principle this doesn't matter, imo. I'd just like a couple references more to the physician before suggesting it he has primacy. I don't think two ''references'' a primary topic makes.

:::::: Idk. I feel a reader would probably be looking for the real physician over a fictional planet which appeared in one audio drama. It doesn't feel very future proof to prioritise a one-shot location over a real world figure. | |||
:::::: Also, may Galen-the-planet have been named ''after'' Galen-the-physician? Galen isn't a common name... {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 16:27, 13 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
