Question about content in Time Lord

I recently nominated Time Lord for GAN, only to have it fail. I decided to clarify some points with the reviewer, @Kusma, and we came to a disagreement in terms of what content should be included in the "Analysis" section. Kusma feels as though elements of The Doctor and The Master's reception, particularly in regards to their regenerations, should be included due to regeneration being a concept associated with the Time Lords; however, I feel that this should not be included, as this information is solely about how it affected these two individual characters, not the Time Lord race as a whole, which is what the article is predominantly about. Thus, we are at a bit of a standstill in regards to whether this content should be included in the article or not.

If you'd like to read our previous discussion, more can be found at Talk:Time Lord#Queries related to /GA2. Kusma suggested getting some input from the Project to help settle this easier, and I'll go forward with whatever is determined. Feel free to leave your thoughts below.

I think it is worth noting that Regeneration (Doctor Who), which used to be a massive fancrufty undersourced monster, redirects to Time Lord. So at least some people think this is the place to discuss the concept. —Kusma (talk) 18:39, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kusma Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Regeneration (Doctor Who) might be a helpful read for why I've structured it the way it is. The AfD determined coverage of the concept standalone did not exist, and decided that what helpful information there was (Which in this article's case was all plot summary) should be covered in Time Lord. This was about the only strong piece of coverage that was identified, and the Time Lords are barely mentioned in the article. I wouldn't consider this SIGCOV of the Time Lords in any way shape or form, even if regeneration is tied to them in-universe.

Template discussions

It is worth noting that {{Rose Tyler stories}} and {{Multi-Doctor stories}} were both nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 September 22#Template:Rose Tyler stories and Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 September 4#Template:Multi-Doctor stories, both were closed as not deleted. Feel free to cite these discussions in similar future deletion discussions. -- Alex_21 _TALK 23:16, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Multi-Doctors was far from a clean consensus; there was a lot of counter argument in the relist not properly discussed that still has room to be talked about. Honestly, we do need to discuss the character infobox issue; no other franchise has these kinds of character specific infoboxes, and while things like the Doctor infoboxes and stuff like the Daleks and Cybermen make sense, a lot of this does just feel like something categories should be handling instead of navboxes. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:36, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: Do you mean infoboxes, or do you mean navboxes? Template:Rose Tyler stories and Template:Multi-Doctor stories are both navboxes. Infoboxes are like the box on the right-hand side of the top part of the article Rose Tyler, the one with the photo of Billie Piper in-character. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:48, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64 sorry, I did in fact mean navboxes (As in the navigational tools at the bottom of the page), I misspoke. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 14:23, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
