Talk:Lena Mactíre

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Clarification[[edit source]]

Didn't she do some racist crap or something? I vaguely recall reading about it on twitter, but I can't find anything. I might be misremembering, could anyone help out? Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived 17:42, November 22, 2020 (UTC)

…? No, I'm fairly sure you must be confusing poor Mactíre with somebody else; I know of no scandal relating to her. It's debatable how much relevance such a scandal would have to the Wiki even if it were verifiable, but please don't make such accusations, especially with such coarse language, without some hard facts to back them up. --Scrooge MacDuck 17:43, November 22, 2020 (UTC)

Well, to be fair, we do cover it on Hartnell's page, and Roberts', so there is a precedent. But I might have misremembered (I do that fairly often), so I'll step back for now. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived 18:29, November 22, 2020 (UTC)

We don't cover the drama related to Claudia Boleyn on her page, and oh boy is there some. Hartnell and Roberts are rather extreme examples. Najawin 18:32, November 22, 2020 (UTC)
Roberts? 18:34, November 22, 2020 (UTC)
Gareth Roberts. Not racism, the other thing. Najawin 18:36, November 22, 2020 (UTC)
Yeah — the thing is that with Hartnell the controversy (such as it is) is documented within reference material we cover in its own right. And as for Roberts, his *cough* views had an objective incidence on the production history of valid DWU media, via his being pressed into stepping down from The Target Storybook.
If either of these situations ever becomes the case with Boleyn (or, assuming there is anything to Never Forget's vague reminiscence, of Mactíre), then such things can be mentioned on their respective pages. Not before. --Scrooge MacDuck 19:09, November 22, 2020 (UTC)

Deadname 2: [Overused Joke Here][[edit source]]

Not sure how T:ACTOR applies, should we change out Mactire's old name above as well? idk, just do whatever. Still on break, probably will have the motivation in a week. Just noticed this so decided to do it. Cheers. Najawin 03:37, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
