Talk:Jenny (Human Nature TV character)

Why does she have "TV character" in her name?
Surely it should just be "Jenny (Human Nature)". I'm not good with the rename tags so I'm just commenting this. Xx-connor-xX ☎  00:22, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's because of the novel of the same name. That story has Jenny (Human Nature novel character). It also has Joan Redfern (novel character). 00:30, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Completely forgot about the novel! Thanks. Xx-connor-xX ☎  00:35, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

Awww... the novel is MUCH better! Anyway, to resurrect this long-dormant discussion, I must say that I agree that the current dab name is awkward and the two pages should probably be merged as Joan Redfern was. Even if they aren't merged, we need to find a new way to dab them. I don't like the word "character" in the page name like that. Makes them sound like a fictional character in-universe. How about we use "(Human Nature)" for novel characters and "(The Family of Blood)" for TV characters? NightmareofEden ☎  23:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Having quickly just looked over the novel, is it pretty clear to me that the two Jennys are not one and the same. The only thing that is the same are their names, and even then there can be more than one person called Jenny in a given area.


 * New dabs could work, but I'd advise against merging. A pity, as I did write up a version of the page that conflated them before double checking the sources. 📯 📂 13:01, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Ah. I've experienced both versions but I didn't actually remember anything about the book Jenny as she's not a significant character, but I checked my copy and you're right. Even so, we still need to change that dab term as having "character" like that in the dab name is very confusing, and, as I said, makes it look like they are a fictional character in-universe.
