Shouldn’t this page be deleted? All this is already covered over at The Doctor (TV Action!)5.80.105.255^{talk to me} 14:42, September 10, 2019 (UTC)

They're in different universes buddy, so no. And that's without mentioning how the accounts are vastly different from one another.

Doctor Who: the show vs. the character

I think there need to be separate pages for the show Doctor Who from the parallel universe seen in Deadline and the character Doctor Who featured in that show (i.e. a fictional version of the Doctor, but not the one from N-Space). Currently links to this page refer to both, but it is for the character. I am unsure of how the titles these pages should be differentiated though. Chubby Potato ☎ 09:39, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

You know, I was just thinking about this! What I would suggest is that the information about the television series be housed on Doctor Who (Martin Bannister's World) based on the precedent set by other meta-fiction universe pages about Doctor Who. This page should be fine to be left is about the character, however it would be best to check exactly what the Doctor is called in AUDIO: Deadline, as this title could be wrong.

I don't think the division of content across so many short pages is particularly useful, so might I suggest including the material in a "parallel universes" or "alternate timelines" section on Doctor Who (N-Space)? – n8 (☎) 12:41, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm unconvinced. If this were more of a 'played straight' what-if, with the show-that-might-have-been of Deadline being identical to the N-Space Doctor Who, I'd take your point — but here, while it had many similarities, Bannister's show would have had subtle but numerous differences from 'prime' Who. It's a case of parallel universe echoing, not of the same fundamental thing having multiple different 'outgrowths', if that makes sense.

Plus, Doctor Who (The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who) and Doctor Who (Godfrey Porter's World) exist, the latter page's separate existence from Doctor Who (N-Space) having been agreed upon in the Forums. I think a merge of the Deadline Who would be inconsistent with the precedent/current policy. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 16:17, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
