There are NO Reliable Sources that this concept even exists. The reason for the article's existence is because its is supposedly necessary for such a concept exist for such a concept to exist, in some extreme circular logic. The article admits that the BBC has NEVER given any official verdict on canon. Can anyone supply even ONE official source that such as thing as a "Doctor Who Universe" has ever existed at all? On the very remote chance that such a source has ever existed, what are the chances it would line up with the article as stated here? Not slim to none. None. Period. This whole idea is an unsourced "fan theory" at best and someone pushing their personal POV at worst. The BBC has never indicated that there is such a thing as a "Doctor Who Universe". It's never mentioned in novels, audios, comics etc. The only mention I can think of is in the "About Time" books where they make fun of anyone who believes that such a thing could ever have existed. | There are NO Reliable Sources that this concept even exists.

:Well in part of defining the DWU is defining [[Canon]] and how the term is used and that article is cited. | |||
:DWU is as noted bound by the stories you use to create it. | |||
:"Whoniverse" is an often more frequently used term and as the article states dates back to at leas Haining's ''A Celebration''. | |||
:The BBC re-published analysis from the Television Companion on their website as part of their episode guide, several of which mention the "Doctor Who universe" [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/celestialtoymaker/detail.shtml Celestial Toymaker] and [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/ribosoperation/detail.shtml Ribos Operation] both mention it. | |||
:Other publications like ''[[Doctor Who: The Legend]]'' state that novels like the NAs, MAs, EDAs and PDAs continued the travels of the Seventh and other Doctors. Which points towards a continually developed adventures (and therefore universe). | |||
:On Telos Novella's site [http://www.telos.me.uk/archiveDWNovellas.php?id=91 here], they mention "Doctor Who universe", in the context in which it's mentioned it's talking of the fictional universe of DW. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:23, July 28, 2012 (UTC) | |||
