Anything we cover (as a valid source) takes place within the greater DWU, a universe which started with and inarguably continues to centre around the Doctor Who franchise specifically. And that's not to say there won't also be great interest around titles that can't fly the Doctor Who flag and banner, of course. In this sense, the "Doctor Who universe" is not itself a BBC property, while the name Doctor Who and the character of the Doctor are.

Here, "universe" refers to the larger world in general, rather than being confined specifically to N-Space while ignoring the rest of the multiverse belonging to the same reality. It's not inarguable. I argued it just a second ago. But my main gripe is with the "universe" part. It's really confusing. "DWU" refers to a multiverse. Unless we go with Dave Stone's version.

Ultimately it's semantics. Point is, it doesn't matter whether Cody Schell thinks it's relevant to a Doctor Who wiki. Being relevant isn't one of the four rules. The series is definitely set in the Doctor Who Universe/Multiverse.
