I don't see how this gadget from Dr. Who is in and of itself
notable. Seems to have been created as part of a rather large number of page creations/redirects in order to cover every conceivable meaning of "remote control". Only source is a Wikia fan page.

Do what you like here, but let me first explain what I am doing.
remote control is a stupidly ambiguous term, and , unsurprisingly, it is mislinked all over the place e.g.
remote controled weapons platform, remote control bombs, remote control car etc etc. The page itself refers very specifically to consumer electronics. What seems far more sensible to me is to make
remote control a {disamgiguation} page, and you rely on other redirects or phrases to get the right uses. 'TV remote', 'remote handset' etc etc.

"In consumer electronics, a remote control is a component of an electronic device such as a television set, DVD player, or other home appliance, used to operate the device wirelessly from a short distance." -- see how problematic this is?????? it's FAR too specific. Theres' wired remotes . The article about teslas demonstration of a remote control boat points at this. And so on and so on.

That's a lot of jabber that has exactly nothing to do with the subject under discussion here.

Delete this article is completely unnecessary. Already mentioned in the
TARDIS article. Not enough content to warrant its own article.

Delete per the above. This is the metaphorical equivalent to changing a light bulb by buying a Hummer.

Delete. Creation by a blocked user.

What does that have to do with anything?

Just to be clear, redirect or delete should be the obvious result here. I just want to be clear that an article being created by a user who was subsequently blocked is no reason for deletion.

Agreed. He was not blocked when he created this article.

Delete or at most redirect to the mention in
List of Doctor Who items. This is part of a long string of remote control edits by a now-indeffed SPA.

oops, i see its mentioned elsewhere in the Whoiverse, but not enough for a standalone article.
