BOLDY closing since the article creator has agreed with it to, result is merge to Callisto (moon)#Potential habitability in the ocean...

Bare notability. Not likely to be expanded anytime soon. Merge any notable and verifiable content to Callisto.-- Savonneux (talk) 07:49, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. I'm working on the article RIGHT NOW. Having it be merged would kill its potential for development. "Not likely to be expanded anytime soon". It just got a major expansion a few hours ago, and I plan on expanding it further. It is definitely going to slowly become on the level of the life on Titan, Venus, and Mars articles.

7 hits on google scholar, 56 hits on google in general. Many of them passing mentions. Anyone can tag items in article space. If you don't want people tagging them you can put them in userspace until fully developed.--Savonneux (talk) 08:13, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. There is not enough information unique to this possibility of life on Callisto to warrant a separate page on the subject. More generally, we don't need a fragmentation of Wiki into lots of micro pages. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 13:14, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Hardly a speculation. BatteryIncluded (talk) 16:03, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - I appreciate that DN-boards1 is working on this now, but I would recommend that to save themselves or others effort in the future, they work on Callisto (moon)#Potential habitability in the ocean instead. Callisto (moon) has a readable prose size of 24 kB, which, according to WP:SIZERULE, puts it solidly in "length alone does not justify division" territory. I can't see anything else that could justify division of the main Callisto article. Since there is only the most minimal speculation about the possibility of life of Callisto, having an article with this title is a bit confusing/misleading.

Merge - Once again, merge Ganymede and Callisto, keep Europa and Enceladus. DN-boards1 (talk) 16:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
