Talk:Ancients of Gallifrey

Proposed deletion
I think whether the page should be retained or not depends on whether the script/closed-captions of The Day of the Doctor. If it's "the Ancients of Gallifrey", that's sufficiently distinctive to warrant a page. If it's just "the ancients of Gallifrey", the deletion tag's argument that "'The ancients' is just an established florid way of talking about people from ancient times of one's civilisation. It's not a distinct faction/group" is cromulent and the page should be deleted. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 23:56, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not a fan of relying on captions because they are so often wrong. It seems that the people who do captions have no information or experience with the subject they are captioning. Just saying. Shambala108 ☎  02:26, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they're not ideal. But they're still licensed resources in their own right, so worth considering when we're dealing with otherwise-intractable ambiguity.


 * Though come to think of it, perhaps someone should check how it's spelled in the novelisation (which would certainly take precedence over closed captions should they conflict). Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 02:28, 19 June 2022 (UTC)


 * The novelization does not use the term! It simply says The Moment is from "the ancient times of Gallifrey". Inconclusive but I think slight evidence in favor of deletion. Najawin ☎  06:27, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
