"While some promotion and visibility would have been nice, especially for 'by the time I get to Venus', but 105 really doesn't belong on a Who wiki."

Then, in a following comment:

"I love the comments in the next to last paragraph of this review https://thefifteenth.wordpress.com/tag/senor-105/"

The paragraph in question:

"The story builds on an altered version of Doctor Who history involving the lost twin planet of Earth, but instead of providing thinly disguised Whoniverse worlds and cultures, it puts a spin on them. It distances Señor 105’s world a bit farther from the Doctor’s reality."

That's a direct statement by the creator that their work doesn't belong on a Doctor Who wiki. Authorial intent doesn't determine whether it belongs on the Doctor Who wiki. It determines whether it's set in the — I'm not going to call it the DWU. It's not the "Doctor Who universe" because a huge amount of it doesn't feature the logo, the character Dr. Who, or have (or need) permission from the BBC, and it's an entire multiverse, not a universe. I'll call it the — Greater Multiverse Which Contains Doctor Who, Among Other Things.

Señor 105 is definitely set in the GMWCDWAOT. The fact that the creator says it doesn't belong here only demonstrates that he doesn't understand how this wiki works. However, it might be a parallel universe/alternative whatchamacallit to the one the majority of this wiki's pages relate to. That's an occupational hazard for a wiki that includes Iris Wildthyme. And unless the text states it definitively, it doesn't matter.
