I know the reason you keep on deleting the info on ''The God Complex'' is that it has not yet been confirmed. Have you actually looked at the front cover of DWM 432? The one thing I want to say is that when the DWM before the airing of the Series 5 finale says "Latest Info On Pandorica Opens etc" and I remember that it was then put on the Series 5 page and left there. Why are you getting rid of ''The God Complex''? Look at the image next to the text on the front cover. It's the screenshot from the clip of Amy screaming IN the opening episode! Look at the evidence. How on earth can you deny it? --[[User:Ghastly9090|Ghastly9090]] 18:50, March 1, 2011 (UTC) | I know the reason you keep on deleting the info on ''The God Complex'' is that it has not yet been confirmed.

==Things to consider before deleting== | |||
I reverted a high percentage of your deletions today, so I wanted to drop by here and give you a few suggestions. '''Please don't''' delete names that are: | |||
*working titles, like [[Black Ops]] or [[Sarah Jane Investigates]]. We should be working ''towards'' building a list of redirects for all valid, confirmable working titles. Some people, generally on the geeky end of fandom, may get stuck someday in a trivia contest and want to know, quickly, what was the episode that began its life as [[Black Ops]]. | |||
*common alternate English words that you ''know'' must exist in some ''Doctor Who'' story somewhere. Deleting [[kitten]] was just cold, man :) Especially when you know the word was used in at least ''[[Gridlock]]''. Same thing with [[canine]] and [[feline]]. | |||
*if you're going to give the rationale "unlikely to be searched for", please consider whether that statement is true. You gave that rationale for "kitten", but c'mon — people ''will'' search for ordinary English words, if given a chance. Things that are unlikely to be searched for are phrases that are unusually long, complicated or simply misspelled, versus the primary name of the topic. | |||
::'''But the biggie is this.''' Please don't delete: | |||
*anything that is used as a valid alternate name in the lead of an article. [[Tony Head]] and [[season 27]], etc., were all emboldened in the leads of articles. '''Any time an alternate name for the topic is emboldened in a lead, it automatically ''requires'' a redirect based on that name.''' Doesn't matter if it's never linked to. As a valid alternate name for the topic, it must lead people to that article if they type it in the search box. Simple as that. Also, you may not personally like calling new series by a seasonal name, but this battle was fought long before you joined the wiki. You're subverting a compromise reached long ago. If you don't like references to "season 28" or "season 30", fine — but you'll definitely need a forum discussion to change current compromise. As things stand, the series number gets preference, but the season numbers are valid redirects. | |||
'Course, I didn't undo ''everything'' you deleted today. But you might want to consider these points before going through another round of deletion. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''01:14:13 Sat '''05 Mar 2011 </span> | |||
