Forum:List of appearances - Earth

Not that long ago, we decided to delete the page entitled 'Earth - List of Appearances'. It has now be replaced with the category, 'stories set in Earth'. However, I believe that we should restore the page of Earth's appearances and replace all the stories that are set on Earth, which make up most of the list and replace it with the stories that are not set on Earth at all but with Earth still appearing. A example of this would be with the episode, The Girl Who Waited - is not set on Earth but a hologram of Earth appears, so that would go into the appearance list.

This could also work for humans (stories in which no nammed humans appear, the TARDIS, other planets etc). It would also replace the list of appearances pages for places that have the same information but in categories. MM/ Want to talk? 13:12, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Well, the issue is that MM wants to note when pictures of the Earth as it appears from space show up on screen. That strikes me as at least semi-reasonable, but "Earth - List of Appearences" won't cut it without a sizable preface. Otherwise, every time we get a shot of a chip shop in Dorking, that would count.

 * So, MM literally wants a page of "appearances of the planet Earth", which isn't the physical ground-Earth, but just the Earth as a planet, seen from orbit or otherwise?
 * This also kinda goes against our idea that all stories are treated equally if we have to rely on the visual medium to justify this list. Or would we list when in a novel or audio when an image of the Earth is displayed?
 * Will this be useful? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:07, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
