The Monks (Doctor Who)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Same reasoning as deletion for Template:The Monks stories. There is no indication that the characters are going to be recurring throughout the series, therefore this article is unnecessary, as it does not expand upon anything not already given by the episode articles. --  Alex TW 21:25, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete We have only three continuous episodes with them, and no indication of being a recurring villain. Add there's little discussion of these characters in secondary sources beyond these episodes. If they get more episodes we can talk about a standalone article then. --M ASEM (t) 05:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Up/Downmerge There is nothing here that can't or shouldn't be covered in either Doctor Who (series 10) or the three individual episode articles. No prejudice restarting an article on the critters if they end up appearing in a different season, or if they end up getting substiantial RS (e.g. academic) coverage as a species, a la Silence (Doctor Who).

 * Delete or Merge At the moment they are not notable enough to justify their own article - there are various other articles where this material could be covered, such as the section that deals with them in this article List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens (H–P).
