Not notable, dead end, meaningless stub. Just another sub-Jovian planet whose only claim to fame is to exist. Lithopsian (talk) 20:06, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Very Weak keep. Has received significant, non-trivial coverage in at least one journal, and probably in two (without reading the second I'm not certain, although it looks like it's one of the two subjects of the paper so would receive significant coverage). This barely brings it up to WP:NASTCRIT and WP:GNG. There's all the normal database stuff too, to get some more content in the article. —  crh 23  (Talk) 20:36, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have now added the infobox. —  crh 23  (Talk) 21:08, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: while it did receive significant coverage in two papers (see above), the author lists have a huge overlap so I do not think it qualifies as separate sources. That is quite a debatable view, and one could argue that two editors accepted it so it is after all independent publications. I prepared to !vote "weak delete" but checking WP:NASTCRIT more closely I found For the purposes of this guideline, "independent" means independent of the scientist or scientists who discovered the object (...) - which makes it a clear-cut case, it seems.

The article itself can most certainly be expanded, it can be made less "stuby". Davidbuddy9 Talk  21:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: besides the two papers specifically about this object, it is mentioned in 21 peer-reviewed papers [1], including one review article. In most of these articles it is part of a list or table, but these are not excessively long lists or tables. Given that a number of aspects of this planetary system seem interesting to the research community, a stand-alone article in Wikipedia does not seem unreasonable.
