Talk:John Dee (Possibility Generator's universe)

Rename
My "speedy rename" was changed to a regular old "rename", so I'll explain the reasoning here. In the novel Birthright, it's revealed that the real historical person John Dee is actually the near immortal Jared Khan, who's been living for hundreds of years. Right now John Dee just redirects to Jared Khan. They should probably be separate articles, because other stories like Mortlake and A Handful of Stardust give no indication that Dee is Khan, so a John Dee page would have a sentence like "One source stated John Dee was actually Jared Khan" and the rest of the article about Dee. But I digress. In A Storm of Angels, the guy is John Dee, not Jared Khan. There's no mention of Khan, and it's not even in the DWU, so the conclusions from Birthright don't really apply.

 * From Template:Speedy rename: " is a template that marks pages that have obvious, non-controversial errors in their titles for swift renaming. By 'obvious and non-controversial', we mean that the need to move the page is clear under T:DAB or T:NAMING."


 * Due to the widely varying ways the John Dee character has been written, this kind of renaming does require a discussion as to what we are going to do with it. Shambala108 ☎  14:17, July 5, 2015 (UTC)

Is there a connection to regular-DWU John Dee?
John Dee points to this character as its unbound version. But this page itself claims no connection. Is it stated in the story that this Dee is the unbound version of that Dee? Amorkuz ☎  20:11, March 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * This page is quite evidently a stub. The story this Dee appears in centers around a bunch of famous historical people is a wildly distorted version of history. CoT     ?  20:39, March 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks. You understand why I'm asking, of course? If this Dee is a version of the other Dee, then everything's fine. However, if they are not related, then the John Dee needs to be renamed with a dab term. It seems to be, at least, the same time period. I wish the connection was stated clearly. But from what little is present in the stubs, I can see that "distorted" is an understatement. Amorkuz ☎  21:23, March 16, 2017 (UTC)
