I feel bad because a lot of work has clearly gone into this, but it's simply redundant to List of Doctor Who serials. U-Mos (talk) 09:01, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials which, as the nom points out, is the proper place for this material. ╟─Treasury Tag►person of reasonable firmness─╢ 09:16, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials per nom. Redundant page Etron81 (talk) 12:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as redundant fork. The tables are transcluded from the seperate series pages, and a redirect serves no purpose. — Edokter (talk) — 14:38, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment wouldn't a redirect to the 9th Doctor section help those who are looking for a list of episodes from the new series? That way we won't have redundant lists and those who search new series episodes can find it easily. I'm not too bother one way or the other, though...

Comment Possibley but this I don't think was this users intension. Globalwheels (talk) 18:43, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page is not redundant as it serves as a guide to episodes of the new doctor who series, as of 2005. The List of Doctor Who Serials page serves a completely different purpose, it merely lists INFORMATION about each series which each of the eleven doctors, old AND new, rather than focussing on the 2005 reboot and being merely a list of episodes including a synopsis for each episode, where the list of serials does not list any of this information. It serves a much different purpose in that it also has cut out all the irrelevant information found on the serials page, because if you were looking for a list of episodes page for the NEW series you wouldn't want to be inundated with information about the past 50 years of doctor who, you would only want to see the stuff from 2005 and also not be inundated with information about each individual doctor, this is why the list of doctor who (2005) episodes page is NOT redundant! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexbrabyn (talk • contribs) 02:47, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

However this is redundant since there is individual series articles. Globalwheels (talk) 10:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NO it is still relevant, because people dont want to have to go and look at EVERY SINGLE series page. They don't have to do it for any other show, why should they have to do it for this one? And the individual series pages have more information than solely the episode lists. Thus there IS a CLEAR purpose for this page. ╟─Alexbrabyn (talk • contribs)

Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials which is the list of episodes. Futher information is given in the individual series articles (e.g. Doctor Who (series 4)) meaning there is no need for further articles combining both. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 17:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, this type of page has been implemented for every other television show out there, thus there is no reason why there shouldn't be one for the NEW doctor who series. As the NEW doctor who series IS a different series to the "Classic" Doctor Who, thus is deserves a SEPARATE page to itself. I suggest you fully understand the information about this show and its running and following before you start making assumptions about how the pages should work for a show you have clearly had very little positive contribution to. Thank you.╟─Alexbrabyn (talk • contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 05:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

As a 25+ year Doctor Who fan, I have a good understanding of the show and its running. Moreover, as a 4+ year Wikipedia editor, I have a good understanding of our policies and guidelines. I appreciate that you've put a lot of hard work into the article and I take no pleasure in supporting its deletion - when I first joined Wikipedia, I myself put a lot of time into three articles on DVD releases which were promptly deleted via AFD discussion so I know how it feels (but with the benefit of experience and hindsight I can see that the deletion was completely correct). But there are several Wikiprojects (WP:DOCTORWHO, WP:SCIFI, WP:TELEVISION) whose scope this article falls within and who would have been more than happy to offer their advice regarding this article's creation before you invested so much effort into it.

Redirect: redundant to the series articles and overall list. This show is a continuation of the 1963 series in all respects; we don't have List of Futurama (2010) episodes or List of Family Guy (2004) episodes. Sceptre ^(talk) 21:05, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

However there is no other List of Doctor Who episodes page, the "List of Doctor Who Serials" page is a list of serials, not a list of episodes. Futurama continued on in series numbers, Doctor who whilst yes, is a continuation of the 1963 series went from Seasons, to zeroing series, thus not a continuation in all respects, so a List of episodes page is required.

Technically, the episode that aired last night was the last of season 2, if you go by the production team. The BBC are very lax on what you refer to Series 1/5/31 to (indeed, Steven Moffat gave the Eleventh Doctor's first series the name "fnarg" when joking about this disagreement).

Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials per nom. --Ebyabe (talk) 16:22, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Doctor Who serials. The latter article's "Contents" box at the top provides quick links to each Doctor's period, thus entirely redundant and no need of the massive duplication of material. Barsoomian (talk) 18:01, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No it was series 6 that just finished. The dvd's and blurays from 2005 onwards are labelled from series 1-6. 114.78.14.29 (talk) 11:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: to List of Doctor Who serials as a better location to cover it. Dzlife (talk) 14:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
