Talk:Ncuti Gatwa

Deletion
This page should be deleted because of Tardis:Spoiler policy, which states:


 * DO NOT create articles relating to in-universe elements or actors who will appear in yet to be broadcast or released stories, even if the information comes from an official BBC press release. This information is often vague, inaccurate or contains spoilers.


 * If these articles are created they will be deleted.


 * To nominate a page for deletion add and add your reason for nominating the page for deletion. See our Deletion policy for more information.


 * Also, please do not add spoilers to in-universe articles, even to the Behind the scenes section. Please wait until an episode airs before adding the new information. All spoilers relating to an in-universe article should be place on the appropriate series page.

Due to this, a Twitter announcement from @bbcdoctorwho is not an official release, and this page should be removed until the special airs. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  12:50, 8 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I also propose that the page is fully protected until the reveal actually occurs, as I anticipate many users will scramble to make this page again. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  12:54, 8 May 2022 (UTC)


 * (by this, I mean the page should be locked, just for clarity) Cookieboy 2005 ☎  12:55, 8 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Personally, I am confused by Tardis:Spoiler policy, as the existence of and  should allow to keep this page up, albeit protected from editing and heavily spoiler tagged. While there is a conflict of policies and templates, I feel a better solution instead of just deletion could be reached.  📯 📂 13:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)


 * " is for marking real world articles about stories, ranges and series that have not yet been released or broadcast". That list does not include actors, characters, or the like? DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  13:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)


 * And yet the template itself states "This page absolutely does contain spoilers either about the behind-the-scenes or narrative elements of stories which have not yet been published or broadcast", which an actor would seem to belong too. So it's not clear cut. 📯 📂 13:23, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

User:Cookieboy 2005 and User:DrWHOCorrieFan are correct. Tardis:Spoiler policy states:
 * How we define "spoiler": A spoiler is any information — in-universe or behind-the-scenes — coming from a story which has not yet been officially released in its entirety (notwithstanding multi-part stories with days-long gaps between the release of their constituent installments). Even if officially released by the likes of the BBC, Big Finish Productions or BBV Productions, the following concrete examples are spoilers — but this list is by no means exhaustive: 


 * What, then, do we do with information that comes from a reputable source like the BBC itself? We use it only on the series page. It cannot be used elsewhere. The three biggest types of "official" info are story titles, casting information, and the odd leak of in-universe information. Let's look at these three types in turn. 

Yes I know the spoiler policy can be confusing but part of that comes from misinformation being spread. The policy itself clearly states when and where spoilers are allowed. Shambala108 ☎  15:29, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Just a note for historical record, as per the recent ruling at Tardis:Temporary forums/Archive/Changing the Spoiler Policy, spoilers are now welcomed in many ways and this page is allowed to exist. 16:56, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hooray! Ncuti Gatwa is finally Wiki-canon :D Fractal Doctor ☎  18:52, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

"Fifteenth Doctor" page
Is it too soon to create a Fifteenth Doctor page? Fractal Doctor ☎  16:45, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes. The loosening of the spoiler rule applied to real world pages. Najawin ☎  17:04, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * As this is all new and thus precedent is still being forged, it may mean we should delink pages like Fifteenth Doctor. 19:15, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
