Forum:Notable Aliases

I've sort of had this thing niggling away at me for ages, so I've decided to tell everyone else. Do we really need "Notable Aliases" in the character infobox? Some of the aliases are hardly notable, a bit like when The Doctor called himself "The Rotmeister". Is that notable? Here's a dictionary definition of Notable: Worthy of being noted or remembered. I agree that all of the Doctor's aliases are worth being remembered, after all, as it has been pointed out to me before, this is an encyclopedia. But is the notable in "Notable Aliases" worth keeping? Some of them aren't even notable really. Take Veggie, as the Eleventh Doctor was called by the Dream Lord, is that Notable? On some characters, such as The Doctor, he has a full list of "Notable Aliases". Look over. and think to yourself, are they all "notable". I think we should get rid of notable and leave it as Aliases. All in favour? Ghastly9090 09:56, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

I agree. Many characters, especially those who have been in more recent episodes, have "notable aliases" that are completely useless, or are names that somebody jokingly called them once. He even told Craig not to call him the "Rotmeister" as soon as he said it. Unless it is an alias that somebody is called regularly, like "John Smith" for the Doctor, it isn't really notable. However, whether an alias is notable can be very subjective at times, so it would probably be better to just remove them.Icecreamdif 21:35, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but can an admin see to this! I feel like me and Icecreamdif are being ignored!Ghastly9090 17:31, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * ...Wait. You say that all aliases are notable, because this is an encyclopedia, and then you say that a lot of the aliases aren't notable. What? -- Bold  Clone  17:48, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * All 'Notable Aliases' for the Doctor are linked to the 'Aliases of the Doctor' page. This page details exactly what it says on the tin. However, 'Notable Aliases' was once just 'Aliases', but was changed because people were adding everything to the list, i.e like you said veggie. But since all the page for all the Doctor's link their 'Notable Aliases' to the Aliases of the Doctor page, and should not have anything listed bar that, it could just be changed back to Aliases.
