Janto

Yes, three cites have been given, but I'm not sure they comply with CFI and FICTION rules (they're not entirely dependent of the franchise). By that logic, should we also include Thasmin (“romantic pairing of the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin”), Whouffaldi (“romantic pairing of the Twelfth Doctor and Clara”), Thoschei (“romantic pairing of the Doctor and the Master”), etc.? --Corsicanwarrah (talk) 19:51, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Question: By "not entirely independent", did you mean that the sources that reviewed and discussed Dr. Who are affiliated with Dr. Who by some corporate means, or did you just mean that the sources give the context that it's about Dr. Who? If it's the former, that may be a problem; but if it's the latter, Janto can still slip in, as the word (if not the pairing as a thing) seems to have originated outside the Dr. Who universe (like Eeveelution or Doomguy).

Comment: In my opinion, this kind of thing is of low value to a dictionary, like having a dictionary entry on David Tennant would be, but I note that we have tended to keep nickname-y and name-smash-y things, like we also have J-Lo although we wouldn't have Jennifer Lopez, and have Brangelina (with a shoddy "references" section) where we wouldn't have Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie. Anyway, in general if a term originated outside of the fictional universe, then as Khemehekis says it can still be included (even if all uses refer to the fictional universe), odd though that may seem. - -sche (discuss) 02:14, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Keep. An attestable word, not FICTION in-universe, but created by fans, like Famiclone or Wiimote. Equinox ◑ 02:32, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Keep. People a thousand years from now might need to know this. -- Dentonius (my politics | talk) 19:38, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
