Merge talk

CLOSED

Agree to merging of the article(s) as per weak consensus and Notability. Argument that this should become SOP for the discovery of this and other sub-stellar objects makes sense, not just here, but project-wide, except for the few notable planets out there.

No

I do not think we should merge 30 Arietis Bb. Other planets that turned out to be non-planets have articles too, like HD 114762 b. Kepler-1229b talk — Preceding undated comment added 00:23, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the merge proposal?

If you will not add in the proposal then I will delete the merge template. Kepler-1229b talk — Preceding undated comment added 00:25, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That would be unwise. The merge has been proposed and now should be discussed. How about we consider this section to be the merge discussion. It would be ideal if @SevenSpheresCelestia: gave the rationale for the merge so we don't go off making things up on our own. I'll wait on giving my opinion until then.

I proposed merging this, and some other articles on planet candidates now known to be stars, since Wikipedia (with a few exceptions) doesn't have separate articles on stellar components of a star system. If you want I can create merge proposal sections on the relevant talk pages. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Might be good. Not essential, but it gives people a starting point to discuss and even if nobody comments then its something to point to later. Lithopsian (talk) 21:20, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect: per nom. There are several papers about the object, or about it and a small number of others, but we would only have a separate article about a minor component of a stellar system in exceptional circumstances (eg. Proxima Centauri). In this case, there is nothing especially notable about the substellar companion. Even as an exoplanet its only real claim to notoriety is all the discussion about how massive it is. 30 Arietis already included discussion of this object and I hopefully clarified this in the light of the recent paper (peer-reviewed publication not yet reflected in the citation, but doi assigned and being published January 2021).
