Merger[[edit source]]
Gotta say, I completely disagree with the merger.
First off, this alternate counterpart was introduced and named in 2006, while The Time Traveller's Almanac — which built on a lot of information from tie-in websites — was published in 2008, so it's more of a case of that book retroactively applying the name to the "main universe" version.
This is not comparable to Millingdale, as that was a unique case of the website containing references to both the Doctor's universe and Pete's World without any form of distinction making having two separate articles impossible; this is not the case here.
Thirdly, there is no reason to merge the contents of the article under T:MERGE, as this page exceeds the amount of information that can just be stated in a single alternate realities section.
Fourth, this is very clearly the main article that uses the name "Henrik & Son"; the main universe version can just have a redirect at Henrik & Son (the Doctor's universe) or Henrik & Son (The Time Traveller's Almanac).
