Name[]
I understand they are Guardians and use the Key to Time, but where exactly did the name "Guardians of Time" come from? I'm just curious as to why this page isn't simply called "Guardians" as that's all they're called in most media. Is there a story where the phrase "Guardians of Time" is used?

- The Quantum Archangel, chapter six, the Master calls them that. "The Guardians of Time? They will thank me for ridding the multiverse of their bastard children, the Chronovores." P&P talk contribs 20:21, May 1, 2015 (UTC)
Rename[]
Right, yes. So. About the name: I do kinda agree that Guardian of Time would better befit current policy. The Guardians are not just an organisation, they are a species/class of beings unto themselves, usually defined (including in the original memos) as being the rank above Time Lords in the cosmic pyramid hierarchy, as it were. The infobox for Black Guardian links to this page under "|species=", is what I'm saying — in the singular.--Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 10:24, July 16, 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that it would be renamed to the singular. The Guardians of Time are hardly a monolithic organisation. -- Saxon (✉️) 10:44, July 16, 2020 (UTC)
"Rainbow" Guardian?[]
I see in the article that the Azure Guardian was also called the "Rainbow Guardian of the Quantum Realm," and that this information is cited as having come from the novel Home Fires Burn. I bought that book and I did a search. The word "rainbow" does not appear once in the story, let alone in reference the Guardian. In fact, in that story, they are only ever referred to as the "Guardian of the Quantum Realm."
It's possible this "rainbow" thing came from some other work and the citation is merely incorrect. That's the only reason I didn't go ahead and edit it out. But I wanted to put this discussion down because I think somebody got something mixed up. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rey342 (talk • contribs) .
- I removed the word "rainbow" per your information. If you see something like this in the future, go ahead and fix it. It's better to be missing correct information than to have incorrect information. If it turns out to be a real thing, someone in the know can add it back with the correct citation.
