[edit] Merger from Stellar population

I see that Stellar population has been merged into this article. This seems a bit odd to me - while metalicity is a big part of the population classes, the population classes also have other aspects with stellar and galaxy formation, and as such I think that they deserve to be in their own article.

Perhaps that is the case, but there was nothing in that article that was not in the reconstituted Metallicity article. If there are other factors which inlfluence stellar classification, then perhaps they could be added to a newer version of the article, but the article, as written, was only a shorter version of this one.

Fair enough. I'd like to see them split back at some point, but for now I guess they're OK being combined. Mike Peel 19:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Population 0 stars

Population 0 stars redirects here but I can't find any information about them in any of the five articles I combined to create this one, nor can I find any information on them in Google or Google Scholar. I even went back and checked every past edit in Stellar population, to which the redirect linked originally, but found no mention of them. Does anyone know what they are?
