Talk:Special Weapons Dalek (Remembrance of the Daleks)

Rename
I disagree with the request to rename this SWD to "the Abomination" given that this is often a name given to something by the Daleks that they themselves find disgusting, i.e. the Dalek Emperor designated Bad Wolf-entity Rose Tyler as "the Abomination" and the Supreme Dalek called Dalek Caan "the Abomination". --DCLM ☎  19:57, August 11, 2019 (UTC)

We could refer to this SWD as "The Abomination (Remembrance of the Daleks)" to differentiate. Deathblade 100 ☎  00:36, March 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't really support the rename, though a redirect at The Abomination (Remembrance of the Daleks) should be created. What has been overlooked is that the same source that gives this guy the nickname of "the Abomination", the Remembrance of the Daleks novelisation, also suggests that it was the only Special Weapons Dalek — which means that the same source that gives it an alternate title also posits that "the Special Weapons Dalek" is a specific name too, not the designation of an entire line of Dalek variants.


 * So given that people are more likely to search for this character under the name of "Special Weapons Dalek", and that the only source to give an alternate name for it also uses "Special Weapons Dalek" as an equally precise name for the individual… I vote we keep it the way it is. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  00:56, March 28, 2020 (UTC)
