K9 vs K-9
(Created a new section since the previous one is more than a decade old.)
It seems that the spelling "K9" is preferred in common usage, while "K-9" is used very rarely. The below sources provide more solid support for K9:
- 2005 BBC News article
- 2014 BBC information page
- A similar conversion on the Doctor Who Wikia
- The Programme as Broadcast forms from The Invisible Enemy (Doctor Who) (first episode starring K9)
- The Programme as Broadcast forms from A Girl's Best Friend
- Radio Times billings for The Invisible Enemy
I think that the article title along with all references to the name should be changed. Thoughts?

K9 (Doctor Who) → ? – Character has been featured in four television series, two of which are Doctor Who spin-offs and one of which is unrelated to Doctor Who. Due to this I think the article should be moved since the character received main billing at one point or another in all four series. TheDoctorWho (talk) 22:56, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- K-9 (TV series) doesn't appear to be entirely separate, as per that article "Baker and Tams have confirmed that this K-9 is the original K-9 Mark I, who appeared in Doctor Who". In any case, I would suggest that the character is primarily notable for appearing in the main Doctor Who series. PC78 (talk) 23:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)]
- It could go either way here because it wasn't a BBC production. So you are correct it's not entirely separate but it is enough in my opinion. As for notability I think that the other series hold some weight primarily SJA but the other two as well. TheDoctorWho (talk) 00:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - normally this would be ]
- Oppose move. The character is predominantly known for his appearances in Doctor Who proper; the fact he appeared elsewhere many decades later doesn't mean his article can't have it as disambiguation. O.N.R. (talk) 21:37, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Vastly best-known as a companion of the Doctor. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:34, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
