No reliable sources are cited and I was unable to find any with a Google search. I was also unable, with a Google search, to find an entry in a reliable dictionary. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:38, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, WP:NOR and WP:GNG. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:59, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the sources presented in the last AfD - which was only a few months ago. Looking myself this does seem to be a very common and well known idea even outside of actual believer circles. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:59, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, there were sources presented in the last AfD that were not brought up - bad practice when the last afd was less than six months ago. A merge to planets in Astrology is reasonable and I wouldn't oppose that. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only potentially reliable source I see mentioned in the previous discussion The Complete Idiot's Guide to Astrology (link to Google Books). According to the discussion, the term was described. The publisher, DK, appears to be reliable. I'm not familiar with the authors. Since I don't possess this book, I'm not in a position to use it to improve the article. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:44, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does have a full length entry. I don't think this needs to be a full article but I do think it should be somewhere, where it can be described in context. Merge is probably better than keep. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Merge to Planets in astrology or another befitting article, per nom. A cursory search on Google Scholar did not bring up any reasonably reliable sources on the topic. The unimpressive Google Scholar and Google search results leads me to believe that this is not a significant enough topic to be a standalone article.

  Maybe, but "Planets in astrology" seems to be lacking in sources. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: From my brief browsing of book sources I could see it’s a popular astrological terminology, there are also quite many Chinese webpages introducing the concept, of course exclusively in the context of Astrology. The current article needs to be improved, apparently, but to readers come across the unfamiliar term, it's always better to have a WP page with explanation than none at all.

• Keep: I suppose this is a reliable source [1]; this and the other source discussed in the comment above mine are coverage of this moon-event (?, I'm not sure what to call it) Oaktree b (talk) 02:12, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is just uncritically presenting astrological beliefs. It is not a good source for a general encyclopaedia which doesn't take the point of view that astrology is true. --Un assiolo (talk) 13:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to Un assiolo's concerns, I notice this website does not seem to provide any physical location, or any non-electronic method to get in touch with them. They also don't indicate what state their LLC is located in, which also helps to keep then effectively anonymous. Jc3s5h (talk) 21:03, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: I've added sources from published books on this topic and cleaned up the article. I found some other supporting sources from other books and radio shows but I didn't feel they added much and I'm not in anyway a subject matter expert on this topic. Dr vulpes (Talk) 19:50, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I've noticed a couple other astrology articles up on AfD, I would also consider a merge or creation of an article to house all of these other articles. I know this is an edge case and not straightforward but if there is consensus in that direction I would be willing to help work on it. Dr vulpes (Talk) 06:29, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Someone proposed a Glossary of astrology to include all the terms that are currently up for deletion. I myself don't see the need for it and would prefer to have them all deleted, but another person was in favour, so that's three against one. So be bold and create the article, I guess. In addition to those at AfD, you may also want to consider the following articles which are currently PRODded (expires 29 August): Diurnal and nocturnal signs, Dwadasamsa, Accidental dignity, Line of advantage. --Un assiolo (talk) 20:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Glossary of astrology. The sourced content in the article, based on passing mentions, isn't enough for a permastub. This and similar terms belong in a glossary, which I just started, rather than dedicated articles. I've already merged this content there so this article's page history is needed to preserve attribution. czar 01:41, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  This could be a viable solution. At a minimum I'd like to see all the relevant parameters in Template:Infobox zodiac/doc unless the word or phrase is also commonly used in astronomy. Jc3s5h (talk) 10:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
