Talk:El Jefe

Merge
I don't think it should be relocated at First Doctor because this term isn't always used to refer to that particular incarnation, I think it's more of a general term for the Doctor, and should be located there. Aquanafrahudy  📢   🖊️  11:05, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * But this character isn't a licensed appearance of the Doctor though, is he? 12:16, 15 October 2023 (UTC)


 * No, but homeworld precedent. He has the same adventures as the Doctor is said to have had in The Scarlet Empress, according to whoever added that merge tag. Aquanafrahudy   📢   🖊️  14:39, 15 October 2023 (UTC)


 * From what I've read (and I'm by no means well-read on the subject) I gathered that El Jefe was more than just a pseudo-Doctor, more a pastiche or parody of the character who, in typical Magrsverse style, overlaps with the Doctor while still remaining distinct. I think it would be a great disservice to El Jefe to merge him into obscurity in this way.


 * Furthermore, this whole merge proposal seems to be founded on a misunderstanding of T:HOMEWORLD. A legal connection of some sort is required, as detailed in the quote below.

"The presence of this link is essential. One novel, licensed to use both "facets", can establish that both angles are on the same fictional concept. Without this, we must separate our pages. The Book of the War does everything in its power to convince you that the War King used to be the Master, but there's never been a story licensed to use both "the War King" and "the Master" which explicitly drew this connection in a narrative context. Therefore, in the absence of our coveted bridge term, the War King he is, and the War King he shall stay. This is why he has his own page from the Master, where only "behind the scenes", we can reveal this connection."

 * So to even consider this we'd need a story with licensed use of the Doctor referring to him as "El Jefe". But, as I said, even if such a connection exists, I'd still be hesitant. Danochy  ☎  05:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
