Talk:Kepler-11b

Do we need separate articles for each planet in a system?
I'm wondering whether it is actually useful to create separate articles for each planet in a system like Kepler-11 at this stage in the game. When all we have for each planet are orbital elements and a radius, plus a rough estimate of the mass, all the information on the system can easily be presented in one relatively short article. What is the point of creating redundant articles on each planet which simply repeat the data on the parent star and the discovery of the system and its characteristics? One can pad an article on an individual planet by comparing its parameters with planets in our solar system, but this doesn't add a lot of value. My view is that if and when astronomers start publishing articles on the possible properties, history, habitability, etc. of the individual planets in the system then having separate articles makes sense if the research is going to be discussed at some length. However, prior to that time there is no reason to have separate articles on each planet. WolfmanSF (talk) 01:27, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
