Page move
[edit]Hi, this page has a notice that there is a discussion to move it, but there is currently no such discussion that I could find, so I'm putting it here. I firmly oppose a move, because the definition of a planet has received much significant coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Additionally, I think the article is too detailed (and long) to fit in a section in the Planet article, thus it merits its own standalone article (see WP:SPINOUT). We could shorten the article, but I think that would take away useful information that is already at a pretty decent summary level, and it still doesn't address the fact that the subject is notable. For what it's worth, WP:NOT#DICT mentions this page specifically. Icebob99 (talk) 14:34, 8 February 2017 (UTC) A quick ping Erkinalp9035, since you made the edit that added the move notice. Icebob99 (talk) 14:35, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I am aware of WP:NOT#DICT and you can remove move request. Erkinalp9035 (talk) 15:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

I want to put this in here somewhere. I just have no idea where to put it
[edit]It's just so strange. First of all, I have no idea how they arrived at this conclusion. All that's happened to Pluto is the same thing that happened to Ceres 150-odd years ago. How can they argue that this definition is unprecedented? And what would that even mean? All definitions are unprecedented. That's why they're definitions. If they weren't, they'd be redefinitions.

- FWIW - related edit-of-interest is copied below - hope this helps in some way - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 23:15, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
Copied from "main page edit (revision as of 22:07, 8 September 2018)"
In September 2018, new research suggests that Pluto should be reclassified as a planet since the standard for classifying planets (ie, A planet is any object in orbit around the Sun that is dominant in its immediate neighbourhood) is not supported in the research literature.[1][2]References
