Talk:Gliese 581d

Rename
The correct spelling according to Wikipedia is Gliese 581d. JagoAndLitefoot ☎  01:01, April 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but if it is given differently in the episode or any other story, that is what we will need to go for. --DCLM ☎  10:36, April 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * For now it looks like it's not given in-universe at all... JagoAndLitefoot ☎  10:49, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

Gliese 581 D
Was the planet ever named? Ever since I saw a redlink to "Gliese 581 D" on Smile I've wondered where the name came from. At first, I though I missed it, but I've been bouncing on and off on the episode, and could not hear any character say the planet's name, nor find it written anywhere on the background.

 * Looks like it's from the Radio Times, but it's not a valid in-universe source. JagoAndLitefoot ☎  02:31, April 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's on the map? The entrance to the ship? Computer interface? There's probably a bunch of places to check (in HD, like my iTunes copy) before ruling out this name as valid. (As a side note, the BBC/Doctor Who website uses that name; also not a valid in-universe source.) 04:27, April 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * It may also be possibly mentioned in Diamond Dogs (novel). Anyway, it's definitely official, just we don't know if any valid sources use it. JagoAndLitefoot ☎  10:03, April 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Bill looks at the map (Smile).jpg Entrance to the Ship (Smile).jpg Old woman biodata (Smile).jpg
 * On the map, all it says is UESC-190-480 - (something that presumably is Erehwon, but for sure isn't Gliese) Classer (something hard to read, but ends with "vy") B & C Deck Plan.
 * "Gliese 581 D" isn't on the Entrance to the ship, and also not on 00125-323458's biodata. Additionally, on Diamond Dogs (novel), they used "Only recently she had been stalked by emoticon robots on a distant planet in the far future" instead of "Gliese 581 D" or "Gliese 581d". In fact, "Gliese" doesn't appear at all. OncomingStorm12th ☎  23:20, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
 * Though there's no rush, I think we really do need to consider moving this article. There's not the slightest scrap of in-universe support for this name. But because the BBC have made up graphics for their website with the name, I suppose it's possible the place will get mentioned again, later in the series. So we can wait for a bit, but we should definitely revisit at series end.  15:43: Sat 13 May 2017
 * So now we've been through the series. And the given name doesn't appear at all. --DCLM ☎  14:35, August 2, 2017 (UTC)

Rename tag
I removed the rename tag because there is an in-universe source for this page name at All Snug in Their Beds (short story). When I get a chance I will add the story's information to the page. Shambala108 ☎  06:55, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
