Keep. I see several reasonable results on Google Books, such as here and here. It's also a dated term (see first link, and notice that second link is from the turn of the century), so I expect there to be more sources that aren't digitized.— Moriwen (talk) 14:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this WP:SIGCOV or a trivial mention? Both books are unavailable for me. --Un assiolo (talk) 14:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source 1 is about 3 paragraphs of coverage. Source 2 is a dictionary definition. I would support merging this into a Glossary of astrology because I don't think there's enough coverage to ever expand this. C F A 💬 21:52, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment can we just have a Glossary of astrology or something? You can't say a lot about a lot of these things but the terms themselves are discussed and it would be helpful for trying to sort out what is what in the sea of new age nonsense. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a glossary of astrology on the web with an entry for this topic. Do we really need one on Wikipedia, too? If we do choose to create one, it would need to include more than just the few terms that are currently up for deletion. --Un assiolo (talk) 11:45, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do we "need" any article? Not really. And yet we have 6 million of them. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:OR and FRINGE. Only one source is tantamount to original research. Bearian (talk) 03:06, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Glossary of astrology where the term is covered. No significant coverage for a dedicated article but a valid search term. czar 02:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
