Solar System (supplementary nomination)

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Solar System for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

Main page	Articles
Solar System	Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Planets beyond Neptune, Dwarf planets, Kuiper belt, Scattered disc, Oort cloud, Formation and evolution, Timeline of discovery

These articles mark the first step for this topic from specific bodies into broader, Solar System related topics. Now that the subtopics are underway, this article should focus on the Solar System entire. Serendi ^podous 08:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose If this is supposed to focus on the "Solar System entire", why is List of Solar System objects not included? Pagrashtak 12:58, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Um, because that's just a list of links? Serendi ^podous 13:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Correct, a stand-alone list "usually consist[s] of links to articles in a particular subject area". I don't see how that makes it not a gap. I'm sorry, but I don't see why this topic should include Planets beyond Neptune but not Trans-Neptunian object, or why we have Timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their moons but not Timeline of Solar System exploration. Perhaps if you stated the intended definition I could get a better handle on this. "Solar System entire" is clearly beyond the scope of what we have presented.

Get me a team of helpers willing to work 24-7, and I can get all those articles up to standard. As it stands I am only one person, working with (perhaps) six other people on this topic. Besides, if this topic were to be considered invalid until EVERY SINGLE Solar System-related article were ready for inclusion, it would contain more than a hundred entries. And where would we stop? If someone created an article called Sexual positions named after Solar System objects, would that need to be included too? By the way, as far as we know, there ARE no planets beyond Neptune. Planets beyond Neptune is a historical article dealing with Solar System exploration, not a article on an actual part of the Solar System. "Trans-Neptunian object" is covered by Kuiper belt, Scattered disc, and Oort cloud.Serendi ^podous 20:40, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support but I do think Pagrashtak has a point, and that the next thing you should work on is some lists, as they're starting to look like a gap to me. See also the Asteroid belt nom - rst20xx (talk) 15:14, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I think these 2 articles fit nicely into the topic and help to pull it together. I also agree that a list would be a nice addition to the topic. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per nom ErikvDijk (talk) 19:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support - The most important thing to consider in supplementary nominations is completeness of the topic with and without the additions. The current topic is complete. I see the article Planets beyond Neptune as an article to supplement the planet artilces, it answers the question "Are there more planets?". Timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their moons does not make a gap at Timeline of Solar System exploration, because the former is about when objects became known, while the later is about attemts to know more.
