Keep This article gathers up references which otherwise would have had a lot of small articles and/or sections on articles about other things (e.g. hypothetical planets) with the result of general confusion and dissatisfaction. There is a big difference between a hypothetical planet (one which has been proposed to exist in the real world) and a fictional planet, even when that fictional planet has been inspired by the scientific (or pseudo-scientific) hypothesis. Having a separate list for these fictional items respects that difference.RandomCritic (talk)
Weak Keep With the name "Fictional", it's clear the reference is to literary works, not scientific hypotheticals. Tarl N. (discuss) 21:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
