Category talk:Actors considered for the part of the Doctor

Not sure about this one...
It might invite rumours and speculation. The fact of people being considered for the role needs to be properly sourced, and by this I mean quotes from people who were behind the casting. The press always jumps at things like this, and most rumours out there have no basis in real life. -- SOTO ( ☎ / ✍ \ ♆ ) 19:09, February 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. If we kept this category, what would we do with people who have abolutely nothing to do with the DWU except being considered for the part of the Doctor? Would we have to create a page for them just to say this? While it's an interesting idea, I think there are too many issues to make it something we can use here.

 * I agree. As SOTO says the press jumps to a lot of this.
 * A lot of these names are from the Eighth Doctor article, the TVM went through a lot of actors being considered for it and a few more are mentioned in various sources as 'being considered for the role'.
 * I'm not even sure how we would define "being considered for the role". Does it mean being interviews, being screen tested, a name thrown up in the production team's room? It's another in the T:CAT NAMES zone I think, too ambigious. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:49, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * You're right about the definition for "considered" being vague. Does it count if some show runner once said, "I think so and so would make a great Doctor"? Also, there's just way too much chance for unsubstantiated rumors to make their way into this category. Shambala108 ☎  14:11, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
