Kepler-105

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NASTRO. Zero popular coverage and no scientific publications that I could find specifically about this star or a small number of stars. Lithopsian (talk) 19:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose I created the page to have a place for KOI-115.03 to redirect to. 🪐Kepler-1229b &#124; talk &#124; contribs🪐 19:56, 20 January 2021 (UTC) Merge Redirect It is not notable, we could merge redirect it into the (very long) list of Kepler planets. 🪐Kepler-1229b &#124; talk &#124; contribs🪐 16:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: KOI-115.03 is an unconfirmed planet candidate, and the only link to it is on List of smallest exoplanets. At one point I commented out the list entry, but that was reverted. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 20:45, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence whatever of satisfying the notability guidelines. The one cited source could not by any stretch be considered to be substantial coverage; it just confirms that the star exists and gives a few trivial details such as it size. As for keeping the article because it exists in order to have a redirect to it, that must be one of the most bizarre reasons for keeping I have ever seen in any deletion discussion. We have redirects because they help to lead to articles on notable subjects, not the other way around. JBW (talk) 21:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete There's plenty of papers mentioning Kepler-105, but always as just one item in a long list of stars. That's not enough for notability. Tercer (talk) 12:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete The one reference doesn't establish notability, and the content of the article itself is minimal, providing little to merge.PopePompus (talk) 00:22, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
