Your links are irrelevant. Ad you said, there are often conflicting versions of the same character. |

But this article spends 99% of it pushing one version, then makes a brief reference to another one in a way which implies it is 'wrong'. |
Revision as of 15:21, 4 May 2020
The Master (Doctor Who) was a Media and drama good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

Laser Screwdriver x 2
Why are there two entries for the laser screwdriver. The first dosent have as much detail so the second should be kept.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.72.210 (talk • contribs) 12:32, 24 June 2007
Surely Alex McQueen and James Dreyfus should be added?
I think Alex and James should be added as part of the list of the Actors who have played the Master. Not necessary in the Main Incarnations lists, but at least in the Others List. They are canon, recognised Masters, so why shouldn't they be added there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clawraich (Dalek) (talk • contribs) 18:30, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
- They're already mentioned in the article. And the infobox's primary focus is the television programme. DonQuixote (talk) 18:39, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
The Master
The Master appeared in The Mind Robber with Patrick Troughton. Jenbil (talk) 00:13, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- That was a different character with a similar name. The Master in The Mind Robber was a writer from Earth and not a Time Lord from Gallifrey. DonQuixote (talk) 02:07, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
Dash next to 2020
During 2014, Michelle Gomez's entry in the infobox had a dash next to the year 2014. I am aware 2020 is still the present, but we don't know that he will only be appearing in 2020.Comrade TruthTeller (talk) 00:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Seconded; the dash indicates "until the present day". Unless any source explicitly states the actor's departure after his last episode of this series, if that's the second episode or a later one, the dash should remain. 2.25.38.31 (talk) 01:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Alias
The list of aliases in the character bio infobox is massively incomplete, as the Master has used dozens of aliases throughout the history of the show and other material. Off the top of my head, the Delgado Master posed as Father Magister, Colonel Masters, the Adjudicator, Professor Keller...
But adding all of those to the infobox wouldn't serve the article's readability well, so I propose that section of the box be removed. That is with the possible exception of Missy, since that was a name used for her entire incarnation in preference to Master, but I'm not fussed either way on that.
If they are considered notable (doubtful), an expanded list of the character's aliases could be added (and sourced maybe?) further down the article. At any rate, TARDIS Wikia are bound to have a complete list, so not including such a thing here is no great loss.

Article is POV
Can't remember the ecact name, but an officially licensed Doctor Who board game in 1980 said that Peter Butterworth and Edward Brayshaw also played the Master. Ditto one of the FASA modules. Again, officially licensed. If we go by interviews with Robert Holmes, Malcolm Hulke etc. then they too made that connection. Not to mention what is said in multiple Target books. So, why is that not stated in the article? Because some fanboy blogs don't like it! This article treats it as plain fact that Delgado was the first actor to ever play that particular character. And there us nothing to the contrary. Or if there is, it can be dismissed out of hand with a chortle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.86.143.140 (talk) 12:48, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
