List of star systems within 20–25 light-years

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY: "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed". Hekerui (talk) 12:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:



The previous nomination was an April Fool's joke, so I am removing the "previous AFDs" box. Primefac (talk) 12:23, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep I think these could be consolidated a bit, perhaps in 10 ly segments rather than 5, but this seems like a valid navigational and informational list; most of the stars have their own articles and there's good data and sourcing in the tables, so this is not just a directory. It's a key component of Lists of stars. Reywas92Talk 15:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Well sourced info, focusing on what is most relevant to the denizens of Planet Earth rather than on every solar object show these list articles are clearly not a directory of everything in the universe. I can think of better ways to organize the information, but that's clearly an editorial decision rather than a NOT issue. Jclemens (talk) 17:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep all listing all the star systems in one list would be too long, so this is a logical way to divide them. Valid encyclopedic information.   D r e a m Focus  18:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep. Fits WP:LISTPURP and is a useful navigational source for nearby stars and star systems. Procyon117 (talk) 19:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep all that is what encyclopedias are for, still would like if the segments were by 10 ly Teixant (talk) 20:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep. All these lists are very useful, provide navigation into pages and have valuable information, hence satisfy the purpose of a list. Don't see any violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY here, it would be a violation if we were listing all stars up to thousands of light-years e.g. List of star systems within 5,000–5,500 light-years, which is not the case.

 * Comment: the number of stars on each page should increase roughly with the cube of the distance, so the later lists are clearly incomplete. A cut-off mark for building these lists is lacking; the local neighborhood of the Sun is variously defined from 12 pc out to 2 kpc, so these could extend our quite a ways.

 * Keep per WP:snow. ‹hamster717🐉› (discuss anything!🐹✈️ • my contribs🌌🌠) 19:16, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
