Category talk:Look alikes of the Doctor

"Look alike"
I'm not sure whether this has been spoken about before but "look alike" isn't the proper spelling of this word. The two official spellings are "lookalike" and "look-alike". "(to) look alike" is a verbal phrase, not a noun. Changing this little thing may be a lot of work, but I personally think we should ensure our English is correct on this Wiki. I know everyone knows what we mean by "look alike", but everyone would know what we meant if we used the Americanism "realize", but we don't because this a Wiki that uses British English. Not a great comparison, I know.

It's just a suggestion. If admins are fine with what we already have, then so be it, but I wanted to point it out regardless as it's been playing on my mind for a while now. And since we now have "Twelfth Doctor (Shadow World)", it just crept back into my mind. The Farty  Doctor   Talk  22:07, May 26, 2017 (UTC)

regarding the people who voiced the Doctor in radio dramas
no offense but to quote the Tenth Doctor "That's just cheating", I mean that's a bit of a stretch isn't it? --Draph91 ☎  16:38, January 15, 2019 (UTC)

and I mean their live action appearances, not their radio drama roles, if the characters they voiced looked like an incarnation of the Doctor --Draph91 ☎  16:41, January 15, 2019 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've always thought that this category was often misunderstood and misused. Shambala108 ☎  20:15, January 15, 2019 (UTC)

so will you remove some of the pages?--Draph91 ☎  23:12, January 15, 2019 (UTC)

Setting boundaries
I propose that instead of deleting the category, it should contain only those which have been explicitly mentioned as looking like the Doctor in a valid narrative. I think this category contains some interesting info but has been largely reduced to "Other characters that have been played by actors who played the Doctor". The fact that Second Time Lord (The War Games) is in here because of a never mentioned connection to The Doctor (Seven Keys to Doomsday) is frankly absurd. --Borisashton ☎  22:33, February 27, 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with this proposition. For a long time, this category has annoyed me, but with this rule, all speculation would be removed from its usage. OncomingStorm12th ☎  22:36, February 27, 2019 (UTC)
