 * Um OK. I have no idea what the correct name is, and cannot find out without consulting specialized resources, and have to take your word for it that that link is talking about the same planet. So not sure what you want us to do here. If that is the correct name, just move it. We trust you. (BTW FWIW it has regular name also, "Draugr"). Herostratus (talk) 04:33, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The applicable naming convention, WP:PLANETNAMES, specifically gives guidance on these: All planetary designations are to be lowercase letters ( excluding the planets of PSR B1257+12 and planets announced prior to 1995, which have uppercase letters). We should get a consensus to change the naming convention first. This would better have been filed as a multi-move. wbm1058 (talk) 03:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC), 11:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * PSR B1257+12 B → PSR B1257+12 c
 * PSR B1257+12 C → PSR B1257+12 d
 * Discussions merged before relisting. —  InsertCleverPhraseHere  09:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the naming convention, although I have no idea why these are the one and only exception. Better on the talk page of WikiProject Astronomy. Laurdecl talk 09:14, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Detection Method
Hello. For anyone with contemporary pulsar astrophysics knowledge of such things who happens to find themselves reading here, I note the planet was identified by "pulsar timing" (a phrase unfortunately not wikilinked to a more detailed description). This sounds quite intriguing, and I rather think a brief description of how pulsar timing can reveal a planet would be a nice addition to this article, and urge such a reader to consider adding it.2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:4C30:24C0:733B:CD21 (talk) 06:23, 8 August 2021 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader
