Talk:Cash Cow

I made an article earlier on the same thing called Meat creature. Which should we keep? The evil dudeArnie 09:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Cash cow is the name given in the episode (by the captors for the creature) Other sources call it the Space Whale but i think it should be what they called it in Meat (Torchwood story) Doomlurker 10:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Well technically speaking 'Cash cow' is a slang term (for something that will bring in lots of money) rather than an actual name. Meat creature redirects to Meat Fish, which is also sort of incorrect, as it's only speculation by the Torchwood crew as to its origins (and it should be Meat fish). So I'd suggest reversing the redirect and putting it back as Meat creature with notes in the article that it was called a 'cash cow' and the speculation relating to it being a fish. --Tangerineduel 14:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * However, "Cash Cow" was te name given, even if it was only a slang term. Unless it's refered to as something else on an official website, "Cash Cow" is the best name for it. 20:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia calls it the Space whale. The evil dudeArnie 09:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia calls Doctor Who things a variety of things different names (and space whale is even less accurate, as it's never seen nor said to be from space). I guess we'll stick with Cash Cow, though I maintain that it was an part of the character's dialogue in referring to as a 'thing to bring in cash' rather than a name.
