Talk:Henrik & Son

Merger
Gotta say, I completely disagree with the merger.

First off, this alternate counterpart was introduced and named in 2006, while The Time Traveller's Almanac — which built on a lot of information from tie-in websites — was published in 2008, so it's more of a case of that book retroactively applying the name to the "main universe" version.

This is not comparable to Millingdale, as that was a unique case of the website containing references to both the Doctor's universe and Pete's World without any form of distinction making having two separate articles impossible; this is not the case here.

Thirdly, there is no reason to merge the contents of the article under T:MERGE, as this page exceeds the amount of information that can just be stated in a single alternate realities section.

Fourth, this is very clearly the main article that uses the name "Henrik & Son"; the main universe version can just have a redirect at Henrik & Son (the Doctor's universe) or Henrik & Son (The Time Traveller's Almanac). 01:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Must admit I've been having my own doubts. Should probably have just been a rename template rather than a merge request. Think I just saw the BTS section on Millingdale and thought it might be easier if we just merge the two, but I agree with your points and you are entirely correct in that both versions of Henrik's should stay separate.


 * Based on one being more commonly known as Henrik's and the other more commonly known as Henrik & Son, I'm also happy to go with a simple redirect. Think Henrik & Son (the Doctor's universe) makes more sense, as that should cause less confusion if users search for such in the search bar. 66 Seconds ☎  09:01, 20 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, most commonly used names is key here, IMO. I have admittedly really wanted to rename Henrik's to Henrik's Department Store but as the name has only been used once I've refrained from doing so. 09:48, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
