:So I think that what the article should do is indicate the breadth of opinion on the subject, saying something like "Fans disagree on what is included in the ''Doctor Who universe'', and some dispute the concept's meaning or utility alogether." —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] [[User talk:Josiah Rowe|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:38, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

The deletion tag has been removed by admin.  Do not re-introduce it.  By all means continue the discussion that we're having on this page so that we can write the article better.  But with over 3000 links — not even counting those created by [[DWU]] — the practical hurdles to removing this article from the wiki are immense. 
Moreover, there are several usages of this term by the mainstream press, so the suggestions that it "doesn't exist" are frankly absurd.  What the term means is debatable, but not its existence. 
'''This article will not now, or ever, be removed from this wiki.'''

::A lot of the argument against this article — and again, the question of its removal is ''completely'' off the table — is that the BBC have allegedly never defined the term.  The BBC have also never defined what a companion is — but we still have an article at [[companion]].
