Forum talk:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Major inconsistencies and retcons

Proposed deletion
As with Doctor Who 2009 Specials dating controversy, this is just an ill-focused, un-citable collection of things a particular editor or two wanted to throw together. It has no focus and therefore no potential end. As far as the article title is concerned, information from every episode ever made could appear on this page. What would be the point? And the stuff that's there now is frankly debatable anyway. Personally I don't think inconsistencies should be a particular focus of this wiki, but where they exist they should be on either a specific topic page (like binary vascular system) or a story page (like Spearhead from Space) A general page like this is something that can't be easily linked to — I honestly can't think of a sentence I could write which would naturally use this term — nor is it something worth spending any more time editing. The wiki must deal in specific topics not broad generalities.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  01:16, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * It does cite the stories that are said to contradict / be inconsistent. I'm relatively sure I could find some sources that backed up some of these assertions (The Discontinuity Guide, the I, Who, About Time series of ref books and The Programme Guide would be useful in this).


 * I don't think inconsistencies should be the focus of this wiki, but I would rather have a researched article than several forum postings going on about these things. Some broad generalities can make for interesting articles, provided they've been researched. --Tangerineduel 12:13, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
