This is just a bare-bones list of fictional, in-universe minutia. They are not notable as a whole. There is no encyclopedic benefit for the casual reader if they're redirected here. It's easy enough to say in passing "X Planet, the home planet of the X race" in regular discussion of the topic. There is no justification it's a valid split. There also exists Features of the Marvel Universe, which can hold any relevant information and already has itself a small list of planets anyway. TTN (talk) 14:10, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A barebones list of fancruft, belongs on Wikia and fails WP:LISTN. "Features of the Marvel universe" is no better._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:30, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This list is merely another collection of obscure information that only exists to please fans. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 15:40, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Let this page stay. It is a guide for the planets in Marvel Comics. If it is merge, where can their media appearances be listed on this website? --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:23, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need for it all to be documented on this site. Fiction is essentially infinite, so there's a point when something becomes too trivial to cover. For something as broad as Marvel, the ratio of trivial to important items is extremely high. Look at the Marvel Fandom and its close to 250k articles. Even covering 5% of that is over 10k items. Even if they aren't all articles, there is no way for a general encyclopedia to go that in-depth into a single topic. If they're relevant to a particular series or issue, they should be mentioned in said issue. TTN (talk) 17:42, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or selective merge to Features of the Marvel Universe. BOZ (talk) 16:29, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Completely in-universe, only primary sourced WP:PLOT information. There are very few of these that have any real world notability at all, and no sources that discuss this huge list as a group. Rorshacma (talk) 21:41, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. First planets by franchise, now by publisher? Nooooo. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:40, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. More WP:LISTCRUFT. It is not a notable distinction to know about planets that fall under an entire comic book franchise. Ajf773 (talk) 01:46, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. "But this is where a bunch of previously deleted fancruft redirects!" Yeah, burn with vengeance. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Planets is sufficient, through if that wikia doesn't have a page list, a Marvel fan can always transwiki this there. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- another badly sourced fancruft list. Reyk _YO! 07:32, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge to Features of the Marvel Universe per BOZ. --GentlemanGhost (séance) 14:16, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - pure fancruft. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
