There is a dispute over whether this article is notable, whether it is the primary topic, and if perhaps a redirect to the planet Uranus as the primary topic would be better. Lithopsian (talk) 21:46, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep the use of the term with the specific meaning described in the article is well established though the term is no longer current. There are certainly other uses but there is no reason why they can’t be covered appropriately elsewhere. As far as I can see for 21 years we haven’t had an article with this title, and as soon as we get one, a bunch of people pile in to say we should have other things under this title, or that the term has more than one meaning. Of course it has, but nothing is stopping anyone from creating articles about them. A redirect to Uranus would certainly not be better IMV. Mccapra (talk) 21:57, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep notable historical term in the development of LGBT identity, having more than one definition is hardly a reason to delete the article. Just make a disambig, jeez. Dronebogus (talk) 03:00, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This has nothing to do with the planet. The Ottawa Citizen (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) 20 Nov 1971, Sat Page 37 mentions "uranian love", or high minded homosexuality. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/07/30/what-can-we-learn-from-utopians-of-the-past Carpenter’s work did help popularize the term he favored for the homoerotic: “Uranian.” (Oscar Wilde, among others, adopted the term and evangelized for it.) Various reliable sources do confirm this is a real thing, and there is clearly enough valid information to have an article about it. Dream Focus 13:26, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment what a mess. Uranian Love redirects to Uranus. Some people seem to thing that Uranus is the main topic, but that shouldn't mean that we have no article on this topic at all. We do have the section Karl_Heinrich_Ulrichs#Campaigner_for_sexual_reform that discusses the term. If someone came across the term Uranian, and did not know what it meant in a given context, I would expect that they are capable of figuring out that they are not looking up something that means "of or relating to the planet Uranus". They might be looking for a fictional inhabitant of the planet Uranus, or perhaps for something relating to Urania. In stead of deleting, propose a disambiguation page that covers all these different uses.Vexations (talk) 15:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I fixed that redirect that was in error because of a bot making a mistake. I don't think anyone would search for fictional people from the planet Uranus. Nothing appears in any news search and I can't think of any popular entertainment media using that term. Its not common like Martian is. Dream Focus 16:27, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. A review of discussion in reliable sources indicates this topic is clearly notable. I would probably support moving the article currently at Uranian to a disambiguated title and moving Uranian (disambiguation) to Uranian, but that is a question for another forum.--Trystan (talk) 00:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
