Desert planets
Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason given was: "opinion peace on star trek universe or original research, at best". Original research essay. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 04:14, 7 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Yeah, seems like original research. -D. Wu 04:41, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. "So let us hypothesize that there are no desert planets..." or coresponding articles. Hamster Sandwich 05:10, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Change to Keep In light of edit and rewrite. Nice work! Hamster Sandwich 20:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research. ManoaChild 09:15, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Rewritten version is much improved. ManoaChild 03:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Let us hypothesize that Star Trek Fans didn't try to hypothesize about the imaginary science of a fictional TV show... ;-) Xaa
 * This article as it stands is original research. The article's talk page almost states as much outright.  However, a one-climate planet is a popular motif in science fiction, as planets in science fiction indicates, and desert planets (specifically) range from Mars through Anarres to Altair IV.  There might be enough secondary source material for an encyclopaedia article to be written.  However, this isn't such an article.  Delete unless rewritten. Uncle G 11:56:31, 2005-08-07 (UTC)
 * ... as it now has been. Weak Keep. Uncle G 17:33:39, 2005-08-07 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research and fanon. 23skidoo 14:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * keep. as a common aspect in science fiction setting patterns &rarr;uber nemo&rarr;  talk   edits  20:23, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Current version seems good. Pburka 01:05, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice save, guys. Move to Desert planet or list of desert planets in science fiction, however.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 03:01, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, good sci-fi article, but move to the singular Desert planet per Gwalla. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; mostly likely form of barely habitable, extra-solar world. &mdash; RJH 15:37, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
