Regarding the previous deletion
So, in a bout of inattentiveness, before translating the deWikipedia article I didn't notice the abovelinked AfD. That said, I'd argue that there are a number more sources on this topic than the 2021 article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

On the Space news source
Not sure that this addition is a good idea. The article relies on an arXiv preprint that isn't peer-reviewed yet (Reliable sources). I don't think news magazines are a replacement for peer review and the length of the addition might be a bit undue. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:23, 9 May 2023 (UTC)


 * But we are not using the paper itself as a reference, but space.com, a reliable secondary source. As for length, it's just 4 lines, and the article had just another 7. Rather than reduce it, it may be better to expand it with those several articles linked. Cambalachero (talk) 17:52, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that when it comes to science, news magazines often don't improve (analyze, interpret) on a research paper to such a degree as to solve reliability concerns with the original papers. Consider for example that the space.com article does lack many of the qualifiers that the arXiv makes about its conclusions. That's why WP:NEWSORG does caution against using news for academic topics. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:23, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The problem addressed by NEWSORG is that a newspaper may be written by reliable and trustworthy people but they may not be experts on complex topics, and we prefer things written by such experts. Space.com is written by experts in space stuff. In particular, Paul Sutter, the author of the article: "Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute in New York City. Paul received his PhD in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2011, and spent three years at the Paris Institute of Astrophysics, followed by a research fellowship in Trieste, Italy". He knows what he's writing about. Cambalachero (talk) 13:31, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Added content
I added numerous amount of content in the article. Furthermore, I cited sources as well as making little modification to this text. Do you have any comments regardless of content I inserted in the article? Does features of Hycean required more points or information? You may answer that. / EnjoyBrowser557 (userpage) (talk) (contributions) 19:50, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't think that using newspaper articles for an academic topic is a good idea - as noted by Identifying reliable sources (science) they tend to oversimplify and misinterpret stuff. I don't think that it is an universally agreed upon opinion, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:22, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
