Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
Who-ology: The Official Miscellany was a reference book by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright. It gave a detailed behind-the-scenes look at nearly fifty years of Doctor Who, from "An Unearthly Child" airing in 1963 to The Snowmen in 2012.
