Talk:Stars in fiction

Article listing examples?
Not that many months ago, there was still a long, large article on Wikipedia listing various stars and the fictional works they have appeared in - written, film, games. Not only can I not find this article, I am beginning to suspect it has been deleted as if unworthy of being a Wikipedia article. GBC (talk) 15:10, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I gather you are thinking of the article called Stars and planetary systems in fiction (archived at the Wayback Machine), which was recently brought to WP:AfD in mid-April (see WP:Articles for deletion/Stars and planetary systems in fiction). The outcome of that discussion (and some further talk page discussion) was that the article was reworked from scratch and split into two separate articles: Extrasolar planets in fiction and Stars in fiction.

Multistars
I am wondering how we can squeeze here fiction set in binary star and other multiple star systems without falling into original research. - Altenmann >talk 23:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * We don't have to—that's covered at Extrasolar planets in fiction as sources mostly focus on the planets in those systems rather than the stars themselves. TompaDompa (talk) 23:35, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * {ec} P.S. I see something of it is in Extrasolar_planets_in_fiction. Can this be at least cross-wikilinked here, with a couple of words, since these are kinda special type of stars? - Altenmann >talk 23:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Certainly. I'm working on and expanding this article in preparation for WP:Good article nomination, and I'll see where I can find a place for it. TompaDompa (talk) 23:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Life in stars
I accidentally run into "Hypothetical life forms inside stars". Surely there must be some fiction for this. - Altenmann >talk 21:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * P.S. you have it in section "Neutron stars" (although it is about life on stars), but IMO "Life in/on stars" is a notable subject in itself. - Altenmann >talk 21:49, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * PPS. I am wondering whether Forward's is a rip-off of Mission of Gravity (1953). - Altenmann >talk 21:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

The World at the End of Time "Unknown to both the humans of Earth and the colonists, the stars around them are home to immensely long-lived (effectively immortal) plasma creatures—"

Sources on the topic, somewhat surprisingly, barely cover this angle. Stars themselves being alive (in some sense of the word) gets a lot more attention. Nevertheless, I managed to work in a brief mention. TompaDompa (talk) 22:16, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
