Vortis (Doctor Who)

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

Non-notable planet- only appeared in one episode and a novel. We don't have articles on every planet to have ever appeared in Doctor Who. --OZOO 21:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Doctor Who. Not enough for it's own article, but it could be helpful for the other article. Undeath (talk) 22:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Doctor Who planets and The Web Planet. We shouldn't have an AfD over it. — Edokter  •  Talk  • 22:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into The Web Planet and List of Doctor Who planets Will (talk) 22:18, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, although I think most of this info is already in the two articles. --Brian Olsen (talk) 01:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as needed per the above. --Umrguy42 (talk) 19:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per our first pillar, as the article is consistent with a specialized encyclopedia on Doctor Who, of which there are many: Doctor Who Encyclopedia (Doctor Who (BBC Hardcover)) (Hardcover) by Gary Russell, Doctor Who: The Completely Unofficial Encyclopedia by Chris Howarth and Steve Lyons, The Doctor Who Encyclopedia: The Baker Years (Paperback) by John Peel and Hal Schuster etc., even ones devoted entirely to the planets, i.e. Encyclopedia of the Worlds of Doctor Who: E-K (Paperback) by David Saunders. So the subject is unquestionably encyclopedic and it looks like reliable references could exist, too.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 02:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: a good, encyclopedic article on a subject which is notable as the only Doctor Who planet to feature entirely non humanoid characters. As pointed out in the post above, reliable, independent sources exist. Pawnkingthree (talk) 14:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
