This appears to be a hoax (although a speedy was declined), since the details just don't seem very plausible and there are no corroborating citations. Anaxial (talk) 23:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. Actually it seems to be a munge, to use a technical term, of the (55636)_2002_TX300 article on a Kuiper Belt Object and possible dwarf planet. This article is wrong on so many levels, but to name a few: exoplanets aren't named and numbered using that system, they don't get named within a day of discovery, there ain't a star called Prifysigol II and well... etcetera, etcetera etcetera. But "Prifysgol" is the Welsh language word for university, so at least we all learned something here :)  FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 00:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing relevant pops up in Google. Hell, "Prifysigol II" doesn't seem to exist at all. Smells fishy. &mdash; Scientizzle 00:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete That's because this new planet's atmosphere is trymethalamine oxide which is one of the chemicals that produces the "fishy" smell. Wednesdays are always better if there's a hoax about a planet getting discovered. Mandsford (talk) 01:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax ; (A) this has a Solar System minor planet number attached, these numbers are unique ; (B) this has a Solar System minor planet code attached, "2010 TO300" is several months in the future ; (C) if it was just discovered, it can't have a common name yet. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 06:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as above, hoax without sources.
