Should we also include Dr. Who, the War Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor and/or the Valeyard? Mr Sitcom (talk) 01:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say yes for War and Fugitive. No strong opinion on the other two. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say no for all four, there is barely any reliable source saying much about War and Fugitive(even The Doctor only mentions them in other and not the main list), and if they are not included, there would be no point for the other two either, even if they might have reliable sources. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 05:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding the Fugitive Doctor:
- Regarding the War Doctor:
- The sources exist, it would just take improving the articles. I suppose Martin as Fugitive is more debatable as she was only ever credited as a guest star, but Hurt was credited in the opening sequence of DotD along with Smith and Tennant, meaning he did technically headline the series. If we're including the Eighth Doctor based on that bar, then War should be included as well. I feel less strongly about Dr. Who since he wasn't in the main television series. The Valeyard is up for debate. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's not just about appearances though. Most of the coverage for War and Fugitive is that they appeared in a few episodes; War has some audio stories, but Fugitive does not even have that at the moment, and audio stories barely get any coverage as compared to the TV stories, with Eight only getting extensive coverage because he has appeared in so many. Same for the Valeyard as War and Fugitive. We should definitely not include Dr. Who though, even the Shalka Doctor is more related to the story than him. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say include Fugitive and War, as they are decently notable, but Valeyard and Dr. Who should be excluded. Tbh I'd honestly say those may be liable to AfD due to notability concerns, but I'd have to research that. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:21, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Maybe with only five spinoff companions vs the 43? TV companions they could be moved to a subtopic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlifanofmrTennant (talk • contribs) 19:36, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I will be using User:Pokelego999/sandbox/WikiProject Doctor Who Fictional Elements Priority Order in order to collect sources regarding any of these characters as I research them. I intend to try and work on improving Mel Bush soon. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 12:57, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I have significantly improved The Power of the Daleks and am working on The Moonbase. Glimmer721 (talk) 00:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Report: Power of the Daleks I want some advice on how detailed that home media release section should be; The Moonbase has all the information I could find so far and mostly needs plot cleanup. Glimmer721 (talk) 20:45, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@TheDoctorWho: would you be intrested in conominating the final article in the set? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 22:57, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Of course, anytime! Let me know if there's any particular section(s) you plan on working on, and I can focus on the others. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:48, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Dare we say there's an endless number of topics to work towards? A subtopic specifically for missing Doctor Who episodes may be another possible one. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Anyone has any ideas to how we can promote 2005-present to FL? I tried making it like that of the classic era, but that list's FL is so ancient, it would probably end up demoted too instead[Joke]. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Presumably like a standerd episode list, though you do raise a good point with the classic episodes. It may be worth dedicating sometime to sprusing it up a bit Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see it being that difficult to get promoted. Making sure sourcing is up to par, including phasing out Doctor Who News where possible, is something that needs addressed, I might also suggest a slight overhaul of the lead, it's very generalized and about the programme as a whole, containing very little information about Doctor Who since 2005 itself, which I could see being a potential critique.
- Perhaps we could start with the 2005 list, get it up to current FL standards, and then reverse model it back to the classic era to ensure that both are where they should be. TheDoctorWho (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

This one may have to wait a bit considering that Doctor Who series 15 would also have to become a GA before this could become a GT. That likely won't happen until after that season has concluded broadcasting. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, series 15 would only need to be peer reviewed, per WP:GT?#3c. That being said, by the time series 2, 13, 14, and the 2022 specials have been promoted, series 15 could probably be nominated anyway. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
I plan to work on Doctor Who series 13 next month, and with TheDoctorWho working on the 2022 specials, we would probably get everything promoted by the end of the year, or January(as it will have a GAN Backlog Drive). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 15:24, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'd be willing to help out with series 13, as well as co-nom a GAN, once you get around to it. It should give me just enough time to wrap up work on the 2022 specials. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:37, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

- I have re-classified The Husbands of River Song as B-class. I know I need to get my act together to nominate it but I'm just stuck on how to make the plot summary smaller... Glimmer721 (talk) 00:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Glimmer721: I was planning to lend a hand and shorten it for you but Rhain and DoctorWhoFan have gotten it down to 391 Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! I think some sourcing needs to be fixed but otherwise, it's almost nomination ready?? (I haven't done this in like 10 years lol) Glimmer721 (talk) 15:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- I checked the article, and it does look nom-ready (the sourcing can definitely be better though). Great work, I think you should nom it. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- I fixed the sourcing best I could! I think I will wait until next week because I am busy this week, but yay! Glimmer721 (talk) 16:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
