Earth Proxima

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lack of notability. The article seems to be an attempt to create buzz for a term that was coined in a 2016 video. The definition given in the lede is unsourced. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 15:18, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Either redirect to Earth analog or delete. "Earth Proxima" is not a term in widespread use, but "Earth analog" is. My Google searches for "Earth Proxima" turned up only a few hits, and as the nominator points out, it is essentially an arbitrary buzzword promoted by one documentary. Earth analog already does a good job of covering the material that this article seeks to convey, and I see no reason to duplicate that material by keeping this article.

 * Explanation for changed vote. Although I slightly favor a redirect, I would also support deletion for the reasons stated by the nominator. Astro4686 (talk) 10:17, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. As nominator, I feel this article is simply attempting to leverage Wikipedia as a promotion vehicle. I don't think we should even bother with a redirect, the only article pointing to Earth Proxima (List of nearest terrestrial exoplanet candidates) does so in the context of mentioning the video. Other than that, it's an orphan. Tarl N.  ( discuss ) 01:20, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete- term not in widespread usage. Would also support a redirect, in that order of preference. Porphyro (talk) 15:46, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
