 * The article should redirect to "Garbage orbit," which is the same thing and where more information is provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliyak (talk • contribs) on 06:54, 3 January 2006

Relisting comment: I was wrong about the last one -- THIS is actually the longest-running deletion discussion in Wikipedia history. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, jp×g 19:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with Graveyard orbit, as suggested by Eliyak. A couple of process irregularities: 1) the merge has already been performed, without AfD consensus (though I don't expect there to be any problems with it), and 2), who added the AfD tag, apparently didn't ever properly list it as an article for deletion (tag added at 06:50, 3 January 2006, page not showing up on Articles_for_deletion/Log/2006_January_3). --Christopher Thomas 07:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect... oh wait, that happened two years ago! :) — xDanielx T/C 06:15, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect, per nomination, but without prejudice to recreation. At the time of nomination (fifteen years ago) the article had no content that couldn't easily be covered in a section of graveyard orbit. However, over the course of this AfD, satellite technology has developed to the point where disposal orbits are used more commonly, so I'd expect there to be more literature available on them allowing the existence of a standalone article. jp×g 19:08, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
