Talk:Operation Mannequin
The Rose novelisation refers to this event as "The Batle of London". Should I add this as an alias?Alfiethehat23 ☎ 15:24, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

- I had to check, but yes, it seems so.Alfiethehat23 ☎ 15:46, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Rename[[edit source]]
So a while back I had this page renamed to the current title — Operation Mannequin — because I had just begun to cover the U.N.I.T. tie-in website, which alternately depicted the attack happening on 26 March, so the previous page title of 5 March 2005 incident, as provided by The Secret Lives of Monsters. (Since then, it has also come to light that The Time Traveller's Almanac dates the attack to 4 March meaning this page name was needed.) However, while the rename did solve the most pressing issue about T:NPOV, I do not feel that it has quite been solved.
My main issue with "Operation Mannequin" is that only a single source used it, being the titular short story Operation Mannequin. A more common name is "Dummy Massacre", but that only comes from two sources, far from a universally recognised name. These aren't bad names, I feel, but aren't the best representative of the page as a whole. As there isn't a universal name, we could go for something completely descriptive, such as 2005 Nestene invasion of Earth"? Thoughts?
