 * Because Joan Redfern (TV character) and Joan Redfern (novel character) each meet a different Doctor, this wiki considers them as two separate people. I hope that answers your question. Shambala108 ☎  05:21, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Question
This page is not needed as it is already under the title Joan Redfern (TV character) saying exactly the same--Skittles the hog 21:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It doesn't say the same thing, and they are two different characters. While one is based on the other they react and interact with Smith and other characters in a different way. Joan in the novel interacts with Bernice Summerfield in a very different way to Joan in the TV story. --Tangerineduel 22:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Merger
Having different pages for Joan Redfern's two appearances made sense with the state of the wiki in 2007 and 2013, but since Thread:232143's positive ruling on novelisation validity, we have had quite a lot of practice at constructing elaborate "according to another account" arrangements. Is it time for a merger of this page and her equally-awkwardly-dabbed twin Joan Redfern (novel character) into the singular Joan Redfern at long last? – n8 (☎) 07:44, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

New main image
Now that we're treating both TV and novel Joan as one and the same, I propose we give her a new infobox image so that a) the arguably more recognisable TV iteration is up front and centre, and b) to better satisfy our image policy.

 * Personally, I prefer the current image, as it communicates that we don't prioritise the television version of the story. I know that Joan is pretty recognisable from her television appearances, but in terms of stories, they're on equal footing (the television story being a two parter, they're still one story), thus I feel it is compliant with T:NPOV. 📯 📂 20:07, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Well… at the very least we should choose an image to put in the "Meeting the Tenth Doctor" section. WaltK ☎  20:16, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Added a couple of images. 📯 📂 20:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
