Talk:Patient (World Enough and Time)

Rename
I think the name of the article should be The Patients. The name Patient (World Enough and Time) sounds like an individual person. --DCLM ☎  16:14, June 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Agreed, though maybe the "dab" should be kept (is that what we call it?) or we make it more explicit that it is referring to prototypes of Cybermen. Snivystorm ☎  16:19, June 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Someone who visited the sets and saw the filming said that their name were "Topknots", but I don't know if that was just to distinguish them on set from finished Cybermen. --DCLM ☎  16:24, June 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Anyone else agree?? --DCLM ☎  06:28, June 27, 2017 (UTC)


 * Discussion is still going on this. --DCLM ☎  09:50, July 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm still in agreement for the change, though without Top-Knots being mentioned in universe, we can't really have that. Snivystorm ☎  09:56, July 11, 2017 (UTC)

Maybe call the page "Proto-Cybermen" or something along those lines since that is what they are. RGIN ☎  19:48, July 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Nah, sorry. We can't just make-up a term for a page if we actually have one. Also The Patients will never work, because all species pages have to be singular. You need to be able to say "The Doctor met a Dalek," etc. As "patient" is the only thing given in the episode's credits, it's what we have to use. Given that it's hard to argue that this is even an example of a species, the current title is the best that we really can ever have. OS25 (Talk) 19:49, July 12, 2017 (UTC)
