• Delete and redirect to first if linked in any article. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 01:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Agree with above, redirect. — Linnwood 01:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and/or Merge and create a redirect to Pluto. I quickly skimmed the articles and didn't see anything in this article that wasn't redundant with Pluto and 2006 redefinition of planet. Someone might want to double-check and make sure that's the case, but I'm pretty confident we've got a fully redundant article. --Hyperbole 01:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect (without deletion). JYolkowski // talk 02:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose, it talks about the controversy specifically, the other articles talk about Pluto the body itself and the definition of planet. That info can be shortly summarized there, with a link to this page for people who want to learn more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Something14 (talk • contribs)
  • To the person who placed the above vote: please note it doesn't count unless you sign it. 23skidoo 04:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • This isn't a vote. Uncle G 12:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Untrue. Definition of planet has a whole section on controversies. Why did you not consider simply adding to it? Uncle G 12:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Pluto anything not already stated there. That's where people will expect to find this sort of information. 23skidoo 04:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Pluto. No redirect is necessary. Michael Kinyon 08:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, it is. Redirects are inseparable parts of article merger. Uncle G 12:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Oh, d'uh, I blanked out for a moment. I've never actually been in favor of having merges and redirects linked, and I subconsciously (unconsciously?) substituted my preference for reality. In any case, I've changed my mind: just Redirect to Pluto. Michael Kinyon 02:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pluto. This should all be covered at the main article on the planet... er dwarf planet... whatever it is. A link to 2006 redefinition of planet from Pluto basically makes this article unnecessary.--Isotope23 15:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - salvage any relevant, non-POV material for use in the three articles that already cover this issue and leave a redirect if so desired. --Ckatz^chat_spy 17:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete if not, then merge with Pluto and 2006 redefinition of planet. 132.205.93.148 01:32, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Pluto - This is clearly redundant. George J. Bendo 08:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2006 redefinition of planet. I can't find anything in this that is not already covered in other articles. --Nebular110 15:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete POV fork. Redirect not needed unless there's some pressing need in an article. Marskell 21:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't really see much to merge, but someone could merge anything they see as useful. I see no reason to maintain this as a redirect. It's only linked from one article and I seriously doubt anyone will type "Controversy over Pluto's classification" into the search bar. Cool3 15:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the last "The debate continues" Tulkolahten 22:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
