:The second item, as I noted when I "voted" that I had no strong preference. Others have also listed their names under both, which I take it is also an indication of no strong preference? The poll itself seems pretty split there. The second item sounds like a no consensus issue. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 23:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:Including the suggested language that exceptions are possible implies that there currently exists some series which qualifies as such an exception. Barring Wikipedians being picked up for the 2007 season, there are no series I'm aware of that merit a common-sense exception (that includes Star Trek). In the rare and hypothetical event that a show doesn't fit into the guidelines and seems like it should be an exception, I believe that the guideline should be updated to address the particularities of the series and obviate the need for an exception.
:As for the [[Dalek]] article, that falls under the provisions of [[WP:D#Primary_topic]]. Clearly, [[Dalek (Doctor Who episode)]] needs the "episode" tag to differentiate it from [[Dalek]], but only because anything less would be ambiguous. [[:Category:Ninth_Doctor_episodes]] is a perfect example of the position I'm advocating, making proper use of all three possibilities: [[Dalek (Doctor Who episode)]] in the aforementioned case, (Doctor Who) when there are other articles unrelated to Doctor Who, and a plain title in general. -[[User:Anþony|Anþony]] 23:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
