Talk:Andrea Quill

Rename
Her real name is given in Nightvisiting. Should there be a rename? --90.197.224.187talk to me 11:15, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * If you can tell her real name. --DCLM ☎  11:38, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Wait, but is the episode already released somewhere in the world? Otherwise it would be a violation of T:SPOIL. It certainly is not yet broadcast in the UK. Amorkuz ☎  11:47, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * The policy says that any unbroadcast story, and content, cannot be released. But the story has been broadcast on iPlayer. It's not a violation. --DCLM ☎  11:52, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * That was my question. I just don't call iPlayer availability broadcast. I meant it had not been shown on TV yet, and I always thought they only make things available on iPlayer after the episode airs on TV. Thanks for a clarification. Amorkuz ☎  11:58, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it said her real name was "Andrath" but I can't really be sure on that. SarahJaneFan ☎  12:24, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * To Amorkuz: As soon as a story has been released on any available media (unless it's a leak, of course) then per policy we are allowed to create that story on the Wikia. :) --DCLM ☎  12:36, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I know that. What I can't know is when it is released on iPlayer because it is restricted to UK people. Amorkuz ☎  12:39, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * You're not from the UK? But you said: "It certainly is not yet broadcast in the UK." How would you know if you're not from the UK?
 * I'm not from the UK either, but you can still check on iPlayer whether it's available for view in the UK. And Patrick Ness also placed the series within the 10AM-hour time slot. :) --DCLM ☎  12:44, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * This is getting personal, so we should take it to our personal pages. Amorkuz ☎  12:56, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Or just leave it. :) --13:02, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

Actually, upon reading Example 2 from T:OFF REL carefully, I am forced to disagree with Danniesen and retract my previous agreement. Only the end of the TV broadcast (rounded up) opens up the episode for editing. Availability at the iPlayer is irrelevant. Amorkuz ☎  14:15, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Curiouser and curiouser. I was trying to find the broadcast time, only to realise there isn't one, not at BBC Three at least as it is purely online. So whether Example 2 mentioned above is applicable here, I'm not sure anymore. As this point is definitely moot for poor Miss Quill, I started a discussion at the Panopticon. Amorkuz ☎  15:14, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Her sister is called Orla'ath, so it could be possible her name is Andra'ath or something like that rather than just Andrath. We'll have to wait and see I guess. SarahJaneFan ☎  15:53, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Just in case it might be relevant to her, in The Stone House at some point nightmares of several Coal Hill defenders materialise so that everyone sees them. One mentions Charlie by name. Another accuses some Andrea, saying "I loved you Andrea. I'll never forgive you". Before that Quill says something about Miss Quill Mark 2, which might be a reference to her sister. Quill says that this Miss Quill Mark 2 was not made for war. Could this Andrea be a mishearing of Andrath or Andra'ath by a human ear? Or a short version of Andrath? Amorkuz ☎  19:19, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that Andrea is her human name? I don't really know the context of what happens in the scene you're describing, I own two out of three of the books and unfortunately the one I don't have is The Stone House. Considering April's surname has several different spellings in the books, it's possible that the writer should have written Andrath or Andra'ath but got it wrong and wrote Andrea instead. SarahJaneFan ☎  19:26, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * If we cannot add the articles on the episodes after they are added on iPlayer, I'd like to know why the articles for the first 3 Class episodes were created soon after being added on iPlayer? --DCLM ☎  19:30, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

Let me please clear up my understanding of the situation. Class first airs on BBC Three. That's online, not technically television. Later on, it also airs on BBC One, but it essentially premieres on iPlayer in the UK. 19:41, October 29, 2016 (UTC) I think it should be simply titled Miss Quill, as that is the name most commonly given to her over Quill and especially Andra'ath.SarahJaneFan ☎  13:16, October 30, 2016 (UTC) Let's hope it's revealed soon, I bet it'll be Andrea so I'll be interested to see if I'm right about that. SarahJaneFan ☎  22:36, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * And there is a broadcast time. You just have to know where to look. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2016/44/class: it's 10 AM, and it was the same last week. The page may be created any time after (correction: 11:00) British time. 19:48, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I should also point out that this would not be a candidate for speedy renaming. A discussion is required as to what to name her, per T:CHAR NAMES which would normally have us going with the name most commonly used. I have not seen the episode yet, as it airs later in Canada. 19:50, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Andra'ath is surely the name she was most commonly known under on her planet. And I'd say an article without an episode title used as disambiguation should be preferred to one with it. JagoAndLitefoot ☎  02:13, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think even if it is her common form of address on her home planet, that she is most commonly known as 'Miss Quill' in the here and now is relevant. If someone comes to this wiki looking for information about the character, 'Miss Quill', 'Quill' and similar variations will be what they search for. (And we don't even know if that name her 'sister' called her will appear again after this episode, or how frequently.) --MissRatbat ☎  10:38, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * "Miss Quill" and "Quill" are the most commonly used names in the series. That is what matters. But I think we should create a redirect with her real name leading to this article. --DCLM ☎  11:34, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, that redirect's long been around. I am not for renaming this page at all. People will search for Quill in the search bar, and an article called Andra'ath will pop up..which they will promptly ignore. From a policy standpoint, regardless of what was used on her home planet, the most commonly used name for this character in a story is Miss Quill. That is, in effect, her name. That is what nearly 100% of the links will be to, not Andra'ath. 12:03, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * If we can't use her real name as title, I agree with "Miss Quill". Everything but the horrible current name. Lady Junky 19:27, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't include honourifics in page titles, per T:HONOUR. The current title is the valid equivalent to Miss Quill. 19:37, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think the name should include her first name used on Earth once it's stated. JagoAndLitefoot  ☎  20:20, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

Is her alias name actually given as Andrea anywhere? Someone spoke of the name Andrea cropping up in The Stone House (novel) but is there confirmation that Quill uses that name?
