[edit] This is a Good Article

After review, I've determined that this article meets the qualifications for GA status. It is well written, well referenced, and comprehensive. I'm "Mass Passing" this article along with 9 others. The entire list is below. If new developments arise that would effect the references or comprehensiveness of this article, it may affect the others as well.

Keep up the good work. These articles are ideal "good articles". They can't be FA, because there is no way for them to get long enough, but they are as comprehensive and complete as possible, and represent a good effort on the part of the editors. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about my rationale. Phidauex 18:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

I propose merging the article Upsilon Andromedae e into the "Planetary system" section of this article. The planet was invoked in one possible model to explain the eccentricities of the two outer planets in the Upsilon Andromedae system: it has not been detected (in fact, if it ever existed the model predicts it was ejected from the system billions of years ago). It would thus seem to fit better in a discussion of the formation and architecture of the system as a whole, rather than in an article dedicated to a hypothetical planet. 131.111.8.104 (talk) 23:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Agree: this article does not have enough information or references to be an article. But I do draw the line at removing it from the planetbox on the star's article. — NuclearVacuum 23:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with keeping the planet in the planetbox: I wouldn't put Theia into the list of planets orbiting the Sun, as it no longer exists. By similar reasoning, even if planet "e" existed, it no longer orbits Upsilon Andromedae so is no longer a part of the system. 131.111.8.104 (talk) 23:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
