• Keep. All my stuff is there. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:24, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Wrong venue Please take this to Wikipedia:Planets for destruction. Reach Out to the Truth 14:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Non-notable geologism. Carrite (talk) 14:55, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. Lots of reliable sources, but are any independent of the subject? --Qwfp (talk) 15:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete (I give up: ignoring all rules, I have tallied the votes, and there are 13 delete votes at this time against only 6 keeps, so like a sufficiently intimidated hold-out juror, I bow like a reed in the wind to the majority, even though in your heart, you know I'm right.Keep I am personally familiar with it, and like it, and there are lots of articles about smaller objects in space. Edison (talk) 15:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)— Edison (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
• Weak Keep There is a brief passage on this planet in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which by anyone's standards is considered a reliable source and independent of the subject. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two words? Hardly significant coverage (and of questionable reliability, IMHO, now they let any being edit it). Could someone check Encyclopedia Galactica? My local library has cut its subscription, and my request for a WP:CREDO account is still being processed. Qwfp (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to dirt.—RJH (talk) 18:49, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep We have an article on Pluto and that's way less of a planet! Kate (talk) 20:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep everyone who wants this thing deleted has an obvious conflict of interest. Hut 8.5 20:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Obvious delete. No WP:RS confirm the existence of this "planet". Violates WP:NOTE, WP:SCROTE, WP:REMOTE and WP:LICKMYBALLS.--Sloane (talk) 21:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No independent, third party sources. Hosting this article, the product of people fixated on their local environment, threatens the objective nature of the entire project. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:44, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to The Solar System, along with the other eight planets. Yes, I count Pluto. They're all just floating objects in god-knows-what! RomeEonBmbo (talk) 23:55, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
