Should This be changed to "The Master (Roger Delgado)" ? Quark16 16:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That would just make it even more out-of-universe. -<Azes13 16:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Seconded. --Tangerineduel 16:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I think its a better idea .. "The UNIT years" sounds very silly to me ... Quark16 18:37, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It may be a vague name, but The Master (UNIT years) is an in-universe article, every other character is written in-universe, no characters are identified by the actor playing them as, for instance they are not playing them in ever instance of the Master (UNIT years), their likeness is featured in those stories but the actor is not. --Tangerineduel 03:35, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The Master (UNIT years) is an inaccurate name. About half of the twentieth century, and the begginning of the twenty first century could be considered "UNIT years", in universe, as UNIT still existed. This name could describe any incarnation of the master that came to Earth while UNIT existed. Also, this Master did not only exist in the "UNIT years." He has been in episodes, such as Frontier in Space, and Colony in Space, that take place in the future, in a time when UNIT may not exist.Icecreamdif 21:51, September 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * See Tangerinduel's explanination above and the title UNIT years refers to the earth based episodes, which out weighs the space bounded stories (Two space stories as opposed to the six earth bound stories) Bigshowbower 07:01, September 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * If the title is supposed to be from an in-universe perspective, then this title is wrong. In-universe, the Master did not only exist when he encountered the Doctor. He was a timelord, who travelled through time, and occasionally visited the "Unit years." This title claims that this Master only existed in the "UNIT years," which is wrong.Icecreamdif 02:43, September 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * This is true. Going by his appearance he first meets the Doctor in The Dark Path or there abouts. The UNIT years title is a thematic title and represents his motivations and characteristics during a set period of time as we don't have another thematic hook to wrap up the article under. --Tangerineduel 04:02, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
