Talk:Bruce Gerhardt

Surname
I know that Doctor Who - The Novel of the Film has many elements that differ from what we see on screen, but Bruce and Miranda being called Gerhardt doesn't contradict anything. Why do we only mention it in the "Behind the scenes" section rather than make it part of the article itself? -- Lelal Mekha  (Parlour) 20:29, December 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * There are lots of articles in the same situation. There's no policy that I could find that says whether or not to rename these kinds of articles. The closest thing I could find was Forum:Novelisations info - Not inuniverse. This issue should probably brought up at the forums. Shambala108 ☎  20:58, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

As this character and his wife, Miranda, have recently appeared in a discussion thread. I suggest we at least give their respective articles another look. What objections are there to not renaming both Bruce's and Miranda's article names to include their surnames? :) The  Farty  Doctor   Talk  21:28, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * The original reason for this is given at Talk:Miranda (Doctor Who), as indicated above. That being said, I would be in favour of the page being renamed as proposed. --Borisashton ☎  21:29, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * Just a question, but would a Disamiguation page not solve that? If they typed in 'Bruce', it would just lead to the Disambiguation page. And if we're doing an official rename, doesn't the search bar intelligently suggest appropriate 'Bruces' in the search results. I've noticed that when searching for stuff.
