What about Doctor Who?
He means that LEGO Portal is not the same universe as canon Portal (and canon Portal is the same universe as canon Half-Life)

I mean THIS is canon
Doctor Who is basically the franchise where everything surrounding it is pretty much canon

Read it again. "Portal (as in, LEGO Dimensions' Portal) is separate from the Half-Life canon."
I wonder how many known universes the Half-Life/Portal multiverse has?
* There is the main universe.
*Then there are the universes from the Portal DLC.
* The story of Half Life 2 Lost Coast is non-canon and can be considered its own universe while the game's map itself is canon due to being referenced in the VR Alyx game.
*Maybe the alpha/beta content for each game can be considered different universes.
* The aforementioned Lego Portal.
* The Epistle 3 can probably be considered a canon universe since it's written by Half Life's writer.
* Half Life Survival might be its own continuity?
* Renegade Ops has Gordon as a character.
* Fall Guys apparently has a Gordon Freeman skin. IDK if this is meant to be cosplay or actually Gordon Freeman.
Gordon Freeman Costume
The Gordon Freeman Costume is a costume in Fall Guys. The Gordon Headcrab Costume is a variation of this set. Though not publicly released, this costume is known to have been at least gifted to Gary Whitta.[1]

Maybe, it can be. I don't remember where it could fit into the canon. HL2 IIRC doesn't have a lot of cuts between scenes and settings in which the Lost Coast can fit. But like I said, I'm not sure.

Actually, there was a Season 3 episode of NYU where Carolyn McCormick reprised her role as Dr. Elizabeth Olivet from L&O.
Has a character from Law & Order: SVU as one of the main characters.
You also missed In Plain Sight (Mary Shannon cameos in a Season 7 episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Deadline (which involves the same New York Ledger featured in L&O) and the 2013 French show Jo (one of the villains having previously appeared in Law & Order: Criminal Intent)
