Talk:I.M. Foreman

What about Totter's Lane?
Isn't something missing - like mention of 76 Totter's Lane? 70.72.211.35talk to me 18:17, April 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * That information is located at 76 Totter's Lane. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:12, April 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why can't it be on two pages? One sentence, like "The first Doctor once parked his TARDIS in a junkyard once used by Foreman." This is very important information. I bet that this is the main reason why people come to the page. CloneMarshalCommanderCody ☎  17:09, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

Susan's assumed surname
Although we do know "Foreman" is not her real name (recently reconfirmed in All Hands on Deck), I can't remember any mention of her taking the name from the scrapyard's name in An Unearthly Child. Could you please provide an exact quote and or timestamp? Amorkuz ☎  07:36, November 7, 2017 (UTC)

Naming
Recently User:OncomingStorm12th eminently wisely split the twelve exhibits of the Traveling Show off of this page onto separate incarnation pages. These characters have their own names, roles, and wildly diverging descriptions, so they're more than deserving of their own pages. However, this left a problem to be solved: what should we call the Gallifreyan to whom these incarnations belong? In conversation across various talk pages, proposed solutions have included I'm going to argue for the last of these, for three reasons: Thoughts? – n8 (☎) 20:14, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * the neutrally-worded status quo, Gallifreyan (Interference) and Category:Incarnations of the Gallifreyan (Interference) – problematic, since there are other unnamed Gallifreyans in Interference;
 * speculative alternatives, such as the Show Traveller or the Showperson; and
 * the status quo antebellum: I.M. Foreman.
 * 1) firstly, because the final incarnation calls herself "I.M. Foreman", indicating that it's a life-spanning name;
 * 2) secondly, because the lifespans of I.M. Foreman's future incarnations overlap with the lifespan of his first incarnation, so they can simply and organically be covered on this page; and
 * 3) lastly, perhaps most importantly, it's the name in widest use among fandom, so the precedent of covering all pre-resurrection Rassilons on Rassilon applies.
 * Good to have further confirmation that the name "I.M. Foreman" is indeed used throughout their incarnations, rather than just the first one, like I suspected. Indeed, had I known that for sure when splitting the pages, I'd have gone forward with that as the overall page, and I.M. Foreman's first incarnation as the page for... well, the first incarnation.
 * Now, I'm not exactly against the idea of keeping these two concepts together, but I'd, personally, prefer if they got different pages, as that keep categorisation and linkage a bit "cleaner". That said, I'd love to hear more voices on the subject as well. OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would agree with I.M. Foreman's first incarnation. I can see the argument for using I.M. Foreman for both the overall character and the first incarnation, but I would prefer we maintain consistency with the general recent practice of splitting Gallfreyans into distinct umbrella and incarnation pages.
