The planet is unconfirmed and basically undiscussed by third-party sources. Fails WP:NASTRO, in other words. jps (talk) 20:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• DeleteRedirect to Alpha Centauri. As I mentioned in the last discussion, the researchers themselves are unsure if the planet exists, and until someone verifies its existence (which as far as I can tell has not happened) it is a hypothetical body of little significance.

• Keep or merge mergable content & redirect to host star, similar to Tau Ceti f & Tau Ceti e AfDs.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  14:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Technically there is nothing to merge (the paragraphs are pretty much identical between the articles), so would a redir be an acceptable option? (as a note, I've changed my !vote above). Primefac (talk) 14:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If there's in fact no mergable info, then #R to host star, yes.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:06, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep, Alpha Centauri Bb is notable and has received exquisite media attention, In fact the latest news attention it received was on April 14th 2016, (click here). This planet, although a false detection has received a huge amount of media attention (search Alpha Centauri Bb on Google News) and therefore passes Wikipedias Notability Guidelines (WP:GNG).

• Merge to parent star's article, woops I thought this was Alpha Centauri Bb's AfD. Davidbuddy9 Talk  23:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as where it is currently mentioned, not yet convincing for its own article. SwisterTwister talk 22:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
