List of Potentially Habitable Exoplanets Kepler Candidates

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Can we really keep this unsourced list? Is it worth sourcing? List of potentially habitable exoplanets is an appropriate list article (though it is marked as needing updating), but this is very different.  DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 19 February 2015 (UTC)


 * It's not unsourced. If you go to: http://phl.upr.edu/projects/habitable-exoplanets-catalog/data and scroll down you'll see a simular table of this information. I agree it does need updating, but it can be useful for including unconfirmed planets so that we can create pages for them and when they get confirmed then move them onto the List of potentially habitable exoplanets.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Userfy/projectify? It's hard to imagine a list of unconfirmed observations is a viable encyclopedia article, but if an individual user or a wikiproject wants it to keep track of these observations and prepare for confirmation then that sounds reasonable.

 * Merge in some way to List of potentially habitable exoplanets. This list seems to be some kind of sub-list or feeder-list to the other article. Of course the topic itself is tremendously important and interesting. Borock (talk) 20:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Highly notable topic, which differs from List of potentially habitable exoplanets in that the latter does not include unconfirmed observations (and would become unreasonably cluttered if it did.) --Sammy1339 (talk) 02:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

 * (uninitiated) Refocus as Kepler candidate, which is not yet an article or a redirect now, so expanding beyond the list to talk about that concept is also possible. Though from what I see at List of potentially habitable exoplanets, it is sortable by Status and hence easy to group Kepler candidates together, making a pure list of Kepler candidates duplicative.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 02:15, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
