I never thought about it. I'm glad that you and several other editors have such a strong opinion on this. But I am interested in what exactly your opinion is, which is very much unclear from the original edits.

So now you say that not all TARDISes are individuals, just some. That is a view that is easier for me to accept actually. But in that case, I would like to know (and it should be a matter of policy for all the future TARDISes we encounter), how do we determine which TARDIS is an individual and which is an object.
