Oh man. That was a lot to read. Where to start....


 * To get the the heart of the matter here: The Dr. Who page that started all this should be deleted. I think Nausiated hit the nail on the head here. The "mainstream Doctor", so to speak, belongs here just as much as the television Doctor (which is to say not at all), while the Doctor from Earth-5556, no matter how out of place or unneeded it may seem, gets a pass by having an assigned Earth Number. And, while I feel Tony was a great source of info on the mostly ignored Marvel UK side, he handled this terribly.


 * Darkseid, I fully agree that we should be covering everything Marvel, including the commercial stuff. I very much have a completist mentality about it. But we have to draw a line somewhere. Stuff not interacting with an established Marvel character is too far outside our current scope.


 * The characters Nausiated has been working on in the recent past are connected to the Marvel universe via heroes and reference publications. They are all considered Marvel canon. (At least until Marvel fully resolves that recent plot device about the WWII and Western stories possibly being "ficitional accounts", which they used to discount the real-life company's terrible use of period-accepted racism in its earlier comics.) However, looking at all this makes me feel I need to revisit my Monsters on the Prowl contributions and fact check what should actually belong and what doesn't...


 * Applicable to some of us here, there is actually a discussion in the Admin Forums about this kind of thing (having info on non-traditional characters, like licensed stuff, minor characters with less info than is needed to make a page, etc.). It is far from finished, but could use multiple opinons besides just mine and Brad's. Nathan has left a few thoughts as well, and I'll be trying to pull in response from Johnny, Kevin, Robert and Jamie while I'm at it.
