This is an article about a character that has had a minor appearance in one episode of doctor who. All other information constitutes WP:CRYSTAL. => Spudgfsh ( Text Me!) 17:47, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- Delete: Article has MOS issues, and fails WP:MOVIE. PrairieKid ( talk) 19:05, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
The Article in question was about yes, a currently minor character who is still, no matter how many appearances, the main protaganist. Although little information was given, it was accurate — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcs2050wiki ( talk • contribs) 19:25, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- Delete: WP:TOOSOON. One or two solid facts the rest probably accurate, but from such close examination of trailers and news reports as to consitute WP:OR. Waiting another 3 and a half weeks before creating this, not too much to ask? Rankersbo ( talk) 21:55, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

- All of the information that can be salvaged within this article is already included in The Name of the Doctor. There is so much WP:OR and WP:Speculation in this article that there is nothing else that can reasonably merged. => Spudgfsh ( Text Me!) 14:27, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing to say about the character at this point - he might not even warrant an article later. Mezigue ( talk) 12:57, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
I, the creator of the article will be temporarily deleting it until more information is known. Thank you for all your comments I was probably just too eager to see an article created. From 23rd November 2013, the article will be fully updated as he character will need an article. Also, a message to Spudgfsh or whatever. If your not admin, don't act like it.

- Delete, as the Cybermen would say. In terms of information, we really don't have anything at all. It claims that this character was created 'between the eighth and ninth' Doctors, but in terms of the show itself this hasn't yet been verified at all. For all we know, the writers may change their minds in post-production of the 2013 Christmas episode and it may wind up saying that he is another version of the Doctor entirely. For example. I dunno. Let's just wait and see. No rush, after all :) Justin.Parallax ( talk) 14:20, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
I have completely revised the article with only solid facts. It may be currently small yet I believe it should be kept as more people will add to it. Mcs2050wiki ( talk) 18:07, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Exterminate In three weeks this will be moot as more information on the character is expected in the upcoming 50th Anniversary. But until then, the three citations only demonstrate that an actor played one scene, and is expected to play more, and the one and only source that used the words "dark" and "Doctor" do not put them in a proper name form as this article does. Delete this, it wishes to someday be as exciting as a crystal ball. - Markeer 23:56, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
