Talk:Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)

Can we change the name now, it has been agreed and all links have been removed? Denchen  ☎  11:49, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Why was this changed to "TV story" when it's an advertisement and therefore not a story? Shambala108 ☎  02:11, November 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * It's a common mistake that this is an advert, it's really not. It was the BBC's attempt at a heart warming Christmas story but at the end, it advertised nothing. Other than perhaps their shows. No reference was made to try and sell something.

Take Transmission from Mars, it's a story yet it also served as a means of selling you the box set. That's what SBMAGOS is, a narrative story with a hidden purpose. - Denchen: Lord of Invalidness  ☎  07:45, November 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * I've just watched SBMAGOS on YouTube, and, honestly, it's very different from Transmission from Mars. Transmission is a Doctor Who story, with a DWU character. SBMAGOS is an advertisement, which features a DWU character. TFM is a DW story that advertises The Triumph of Sutekh. SBMAGOS is a real world video that celebrates Christmas, and advertises the Christmas episodes BBC broadcasted on 2015. OncomingStorm12th ☎  16:46, November 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * If we change Sprout Boy then Transmission should be changed. The clear reason, no matter how true it is, is that it's the first proper on screen appearance of Bernice and that's why nobody wants it changed. - Denchen: Lord of Invalidness   ☎  20:34, November 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * First of all, if you have an issue with Transmission from Mars, bring it up on Talk:Transmission from Mars, not here.
 * Second, it's probably best if you stop attributing motives to people when you don't know what they are. Shambala108 ☎  23:02, November 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * I honestly don't have a problem with TFM but you we can't have rules for one and rules for another. I was speaking generally with the motive thing. Anyways best wishes. - Denchen: Lord of Invalidness   ☎  23:11, November 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but this is not a forum page, it's a talk page for a specific article. Requesting a change for something else should be done on its talk page. And User:OncomingStorm12th's comments seem to me to indicate a difference between the two things. Shambala108 ☎  23:15, November 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * It's not having rules for one and rules for another. The thing is: we can't really compare a Christmas advertisement with a small story (roughly speaking, TFM is a "prequel" to The Triumph of Sutekh) and apply the same dab terms. OncomingStorm12th ☎  00:03, November 29, 2016 (UTC)
