 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to have been originally created in the context of mining other planets for energy resources, not many sources on this are to be found. This angle has been removed from the article, leaving it an unfocused collection of facts already covered in atmosphere of Titan, atmosphere of Jupiter etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyrej (talk • contribs)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Rename Extraterrestrial hydrocarbons and weak keep. It's not much now, but it's not so bad it has to be TNT'd. There are papers on the subject, e.g. Extraterrestrial Hydrocarbons and Petroleum Genesis, Properties of extraterrestrial hydrocarbons and theory of their genesis, Evidence for extraterrestrial amino-acids and hydrocarbons in the Murchison meteorite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarityfiend (talk • contribs) 09:18, 19 October 2015‎ (UTC)

 * Either merge into hydrocarbon or delete. In the article space, it is only linked from the hydrocarbon article, which is itself not particularly well developed. Praemonitus (talk) 17:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Doesn't warrant a standalone article, not enough coverage in reliable sources.— UY Scuti Talk  14:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
