LV-426 is a fictional construct and as such doesn't merit its own page. When a real planet is discovered orbiting Zeta², we'll make an article for that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68Kustom (talk • contribs) 17:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but merge discussions kind of stalled. I believe Alien (film) already covers everything related to the planetoid in that film, I'll look over Aliens (film) and the other articles to see if there's anything that needs to be merged there. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, the planet is as fictional as the Alien character. If the character deserves an article, so other objects. The rationale given for "merging" is not sufficient, IMHO. Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 01:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous reliable secondary sources to verify information about the Alien itself, and with which to establish its notability to the realms of film and science fiction. There do not appear to be such sources available to support an independent article about LV-426, which is merely the setting of about 1⅓ of the films in the series. If such sources were to appear and be cited in the article, and if that information went beyond just what belongs in the articles about the films themselves, then it'd be a different story. But the article's been tagged for sourcing, notability, & cleanup for nearly a year & no such sources have come to light. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:41, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
