Talk:Brian Williams

Article needs renaming
It's been confirmed that the character will appear in a later episode, so the DAB nature of the title is inaccurate and will prevent users from finding the article on him, especially if the DAB page at Brian Williams is deleted by those who seem to want this wiki to be hard to navigate. 70.72.211.35talk to me 02:40, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation articles are there to navigate people to the correct article(s). When you search for something they're pretty much the first thing you see. Plus, on most articles it suggests pages that you might have meant when you loaded the article. I don't really think there's an issue tbh. Plus, the Brian Williams in the NSA "Snowglobe 7" came first and there's very little we can do about it.

 * The page still needs to be disambiguated, even if he appears in a later episode. As this is his first, this is what we go with.  Tardis1963   talk  03:41, September 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * For cases when there's only two people, You may is more than enough to alleviate the confusion. Often, when you start typing Brian Williams in a link, it'd show the two dabed Brian Williamses. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:37, September 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * It does seem that the Doctor's wife's Grandfather is going to remain more notable than a one off character in a novel. Perhaps Brian (Dinos on a Spaceship) should be the one listed as Brian Williams and a You may link could handle the rest.  The page for (Snowglobe 7) is barely a blip as it is, clearly Rory's dad is already more interesting.

At a later date, when this character has made multiple appearances, it would certainly be best to give this page preference as I do not doubt it is the page most expect to find at Brian Williams. There is no urgency to make the move, but I see no reason to delay as links will only have to be changed when the switch is made and they're sure to pile up in the meantime.-- 20:05, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
