:Completely agree with all that's been said. It's getting silly. We ideally need to change the title to something like "significant aliases" (ok, not exactly those words cos it sounds rubbish, but something with that meaning) so that, as 173 was saying, we get actual alternative names rather than just one-off throwaway descriptions for character. I think the best course of action would be to change it from "Also known as" to something like I just mentioned.

::Anyway, I think Boblipton is right. At this point, this thread seems like pretty good evidence for a consensus, so I'm going to start trimming the lists, starting with Jack and River. I'll bend over backward to make sure anyone who questions the trimming can find this thread and join in here. If anyone else wants to follow up with more articles, go ahead; if you'd prefer to wait and see how these first two go, that's fine oo. --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 06:31, September 6, 2011 (UTC) | ::Anyway, I think Boblipton is right.

::Strike that; I had [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] and [[The Master (Harold Saxon)|Harold Saxon]] open in tabs already, so those are the two I edited first; River can come later. (Besides, "Big Fella" especially bugged me…) --[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 06:53, September 6, 2011 (UTC) | |||
