 * Keep This article gathers up references which otherwise would have had a lot of small articles and/or sections on articles about other things (e.g. hypothetical planets) with the result of general confusion and dissatisfaction. There is a big difference between a hypothetical planet (one which has been proposed to exist in the real world) and a fictional planet, even when that fictional planet has been inspired by the scientific (or pseudo-scientific) hypothesis. Having a separate list for these fictional items respects that difference.RandomCritic (talk)
 * Weak Keep With the name "Fictional", it's clear the reference is to literary works, not scientific hypotheticals. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 21:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Descriptive WP:STANDALONE list article which differs from "hypothetical" since these are all well sourced fictional planets.-- ☾Loriendrew☽  ☏(ring-ring)  01:08, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
