KOI-4878.01

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NASTRO. As with most KOIs, we should wait until confirmation as there are likely to be false positives. jps (talk) 12:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge all unconfirmed KOIs into a single list, with entries moved out upon confirmation, and false positives moved to a bottom section upon disconfirmation. bd2412  T 18:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOTCATALOGUE applies here. As others have mentioned, the threshold for notability under WP:NASTRO could be considered confirmation as an exoplanet rather than just candidate status. I'm not opposed to merging candidate articles into a list within another single article, but I don't think there's enough unique content to justify such a list for most of these right now.

 * Delete. KOIs should not be exempt from either WP:GNG or WP:NASTRO. As a practical matter, if every candidate exoplanet receives an article without regard to GNG and NASTRO, then WP will be flooded with stubs about non-notable exoplanet candidates which needlessly duplicate catalog information. The problem with merging into a list is that I'm not sure that there's encyclopedic value in a list of objects which aren't sufficiently notable to warrant their own articles. On an unrelated note, a number of these KOI stubs contain very speculative statements about habitability. In the event that these articles are kept, I think that these statements should be removed unless substantiated by in-depth, peer-reviewed research. (Note: This is my verbatim rationale from Articles for deletion/KOI-2194.03; this AfD raises the same issues as that one.) Astro4686 (talk) 02:02, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
