Name of this Article[[edit source]]

There are 400 or so pages that link to "BBC". Rather than going through every one of them to figure out which should be "British Broadcasting Corporation" (which will be most of them) can we have something like "BBC (Doctor Who Universe)"?--Nyktimos 21:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't see why we can't merge the two articles. Many other "real world" entities have a ==Behind the Scenes== section that talks about them outside of the Whoniverse. Monkey with a Gun 23:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
