Talk:The Doctor's species

Merge
Both this page and Timeless Child's species are on the same topic. Timeless Child species is also somewhat more a neutral title than 'the Doctor's species', as the beginninsg of its species are not 'the Doctor' or that individual. Timeless Child is a better less weighted term for the species. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:14, March 2, 2020 (UTC)
 * I think you saw the earlier version of the page at The Doctor's species, which is indeed similar to Timeless Child's species, since User:SOTO moved the contents of the former to the latter.


 * The current form of the page, however, is intended to be of apiece with The Doctor's age and The Doctor's early life: it's not a page about the unnamed species purported by one specific account (The Timeless Children) to be the Doctor's true birth species, but rather a hub page to pool all the differing accounts of what the Doctor's species is. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  16:40, March 2, 2020 (UTC)

The Doctor's species is a matter that is by no means agreed upon in all stories. Per T:NPOV, The Timeless Children is not *the* definitive account: other contradictory accounts of the Doctor's origins which completely diverge from this one should have equal weight. Valid sources for the Doctor being fully or of half-human, for instance, do not fit into the same narrative put forward by this latest story. So there is plenty to discuss on a page about the Doctor's species, just as in the two pages Scrooge MacDuck linked to above. 23:18, March 2, 2020 (UTC)
