Talk:Doctor Who

Actually, now that I think of it, we need Doctor Who (character). Why don't we need disambiguation? There's the TV series, movies, books, character, ... radio, I think, probably other media as well .... --LQ 19:19, 13 February 2007 (PST)

Although he was credited as "Doctor Who" for some time, the character's name is not "Doctor Who". It's "the Doctor". I do not want to make Doctor Who a disambiguation page for this show because I don't want to be stuck typing in the additional "(TV series)|Doctor Who" part in ALL internal links relating to the original title of the show, from which any spin-offs, adaptions, etc. were derived, and which is still the official title of the series. If you want a disambiguation page, make it Doctor Who (disambiguation), and have links to the Cushing movies or the TV movie there. That's the only thing that might cause any actual ambiguity, and they? Were remakes and an intermediary failed pilot/sequel of dubious canonicity. This isn't like with Buffy where the movie came first. It's the TV series that began everything and it's not so common a title that it needs to be clarified, like one-word titles often do.
