Fails WP:NGEO.. WP:NASTRO Existence does not confer notability. I have no objections to a Geography of Pluto article but having an article for each recently discovered geographic feature is absurd unless they have some other notability. Savonneux cites. (talk) 00:27, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Geographic features of astronomical objects is not covered in WP:GEO, my bad. My reasoning still stands per "subject of multiple, non-trivial published works."--Savonneux (talk) 04:59, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Notable feature visible from space. Additional notability conferred by the name, in recognition of the tragic death of the astronauts of the destroyed Space Shuttle. Jusdafax 04:34, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Being visible from space is not a criteria, The object is, or has been, visible to the naked eye (from Earth) is though. Being named does not confer notability the existence of an astronomical object, or even the fact that it has been named does not guarantee notability--Savonneux (talk) 06:48, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete User DN-boards is in a campaign creating useless articles with complete disregard to Wikipedia's spirit and editors' feedback. BatteryIncluded (talk) 02:45, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Merge - this doesn't have enough notability to merit its own article, but it could certainly be included in the page for the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in, say, the "memorials" section, or, as Savonneux mentioned, an article on the geography of Pluto.

• Comment: There are many other articles on the geography of Pluto of similar notability, such as Challenger Colles and Hayabusa Terra (look e.g. to {{Pluto}} for more of them). It would make more sense to treat them all under the same discussion. --Njardarlogar (talk) 11:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I nommed a bunch of them but they do have varying levels of notability so I didn't bundle them.--Savonneux (talk) 17:43, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How would they have varying levels of notability? --Njardarlogar (talk) 19:03, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Idk, some editors are comparing the notability of features mapped for the first time a month ago to places like The Alps--Savonneux (talk) 06:01, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
