Ace Attorney Wiki

Do you care to explain the reason behind deleting this page? It's something we know for sure exists in AA, and I've seen other wikis have whole pages for a heck of a lot less before. Radical-6-fever (talk) 14:44, August 26, 2017 (UTC)

Although there are references to Doctor Who in the games, the name of the show isn't actually mentioned. I know that the intent of the developers is to reference Doctor Who, but, from and an in-universe perspective, since the Ace Attorney games take place in an alternative universe anyway, who is to say that they don't just have something similar instead, like Doctor Omega? In my opinion, making pages like this opens us up to having one for every referenced piece of media in Ace Attorney games, which doesn't sit well with me. We aren't a huge wiki with hundreds of regular editors and a huge repository of media to draw from, so I prefer the current method, where we note cultural references and link to their respective wikis. - Strabo412 (talk) 22:45, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
I understand. I just figured that since it was more then one reference, and one of them is pretty direct, referring to something straight out from the program (yes, "time lord" could be a generic term, but it's kind of an odd thing to say without it referring to Doctor Who), that Doctor Who probably exists at least in some form in the Ace Attorney universe. Most other referenced material tends to be rather indirect, or alters the names, (such as the "Judge Wackner" and "The People's Court" as a reference to Judge Wapner and The Public's Court, "Rocko" and "Claw of the Tiger" for Rocky and Eye of the Tiger, or "The Grid: Revelations" for The Matrix: Revolutions"), or used in a way where it doesn't stick out like as a character directly referencing something since it's not really glaringly strange to say without said context behind it, as is the case with a lot of Pees'lubn's musical references in The Forigen Turnabout. Radical-6-fever (talk) 04:56, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd say that something that's only a passing reference and not something that affects the story at all shouldn't get its own page. At that point, it's probably not even in all the language versions, and Janet Hsu just likes Doctor Who a lot. capefeather (talk) 22:34, August 28, 2017 (UTC)
