Venusians

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Essentially a original researched synthesis of all the claims people have made for inhabitants of the planet Venus. This is not a legitimate subject for a Wikipedia article. ScienceApologist (talk) 18:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's not original research since it does not "present a conclusion by putting together different sources". It's an outline of where the concept of Venusians has been used in film and literature.  ...  disco spinster   talk  18:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If that's true, then the entire article violates WP:TRIVIA. ScienceApologist (talk) 20:00, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The idea of residents of Venus is a well-known and often-used — and non-trivial — concept; the article is not a trivia violation. Nyttend (talk) 20:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, massive OR.  Corvus cornix  talk  21:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep but only because we've got Martians too. And if they're not a problem, then why are the Venusians on AfD? I know, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is no excuse, okay, but in that case the Martians should go too. In short: keep them both or delete them both.   SIS   21:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Let's deal with one crap article at a time.  Corvus cornix  talk  22:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Shortened my opinion above to prevent confusion. The 'weak keep' stands, though.   SIS   01:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment We also have Venus in fiction, which isn't great itself, but might have more potential. Zagalejo^^^ 01:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see how its in any way an OR synthesis, just a compilation of sourceable material. "Synthesis" would be concluding what the inhabitants were actually like. DGG (talk) 05:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Venus in fiction 70.55.203.112 (talk) 05:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Venus in fiction; I don't have an opinion about the final article title. Besides, as we all know, women are Venusians. --Itub (talk) 05:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Venus in fiction. Unlike Martians, who call to mind "little green men", Venusians have no set pattern.  Perhaps these two ipc articles can be combined and then edited into something intelligent. Mandsford (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Venus in fiction as the more standard title. The relevant information in the two little sections on religion is already mentioned in the particular people's articles, except for Benjamin Creme, which mentions that he was only briefly a member of the Aetherius Society. - Eldereft (cont.) 16:22, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
