Talk:Jenna Coleman

Creation
I tried to (re)create this page, but cannot do so. Is it because it has previousy been deleted, or because the page has a block on it?? Geek Mythology ☎  21:48, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Can you change it to say she plays the new companion,clara


 * Technically, no. As she hasn't appeared on screen as the new companion in an actual canonical story (the trailer doesn't count), that would be against the spoiler policy. Geek Mythology ☎  11:45, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

Well it is not a spoiler,we all know she is the new companion


 * (Don't forget to sign your posts by typing four of these: ~) You can read our Tardis:Spoiler policy to see why it is considered a spoiler here. Shambala108 ☎  15:23, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

It is not a spoiler as we all know who she plays,not a spoiler


 * Just because it may or may not be a "spoiler" itself, it is still against the "spoiler policy", which has several differences. And again, don't forget to sign your posts.Geek Mythology ☎  16:34, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

Correct name?
Although she has so far been credited on Doctor Who as Jenna-Louise Coleman, and as such the title of this article is correct, she is starting to be referenced in media and elsewhere as Jenna Coleman -- to the extent that her IMDb listing has now been changed to show her shorter name. If it turns out that she has indeed shortened her name -- and if, say, the anniversary special credits reflect this, the article may need to be renamed. 70.72.201.229talk to me 05:19, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

Jenna Coleman
Read this news article concerning her, which tells us that she is now using and will continue to use "Jenna Coleman" instead of "Jenna-Louise Coleman" is all situations including Doctor Who credits. But should we wait until she's actually credited as such in DWU-related work to start renaming and/or noting in the article, or is this good enough for us? --SOTO ☎ 20:54, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Radio Times is reputable and this appears to have come from the horse's mouth. I've added that link as a citation (someone has done the same on her Wikipedia article), but I'll leave it to an admin to decide on a page move. But I think the only reason Wikipedia hasn't moved their version is wikipedia:WP:COMMONNAME, a rule which I don't believe has an equivalent here. The discussion on Wikipedia at wikipedia:Talk:Jenna-Louise_Coleman did suggest waiting for her next on-screen acting credit (which would be either the 50th anniversary DW episode or that period drama she was just announced to be in). Personally, I think that would be the final confirmation, but a collaborating article should also be sufficient evidence.
