This is mostly my fault. Sorry y'all. Taking the cue from Meta-fiction universe already covering both TV Action! (comic story) and All Our Christmases (short story), I added in The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who (comic story) when putting the Deadline (audio story) connection on the page. Reasoning being partially that Girl and TV Action! were both meant to be set in reality.

At some later point I was thinking of slightly rewriting Meta-fiction universe to be less assertive that all the stories were set in the same universe and be more on the concept of such a universe (another, entirely fictional, "meta-dimension" appears in Wildthyme Beyond! (novel)), but alas it never came to pass. Not to say it couldn't come to pass.

Now, back then there wasn't a central page for the concept of Doctor Who within Doctor Who. Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks) isn't the best of disambiguations, but Doctor Who isn't likely to be renamed Doctor Who (franchise) anytime soon. I think it would make sense to put most of this info in an "Other realities" section of the page. Not necessarily merging them.
