Article listing examples?

Not that many months ago, there was still a long, large article on Wikipedia listing various stars and the fictional works they have appeared in - written, film, games. Not only can I not find this article, I am beginning to suspect it has been deleted as if unworthy of being a Wikipedia article. GBC (talk) 15:10, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I gather you are thinking of the article called Stars and planetary systems in fiction (archived at the Wayback Machine), which was recently brought to WP:AfD in mid-April (see WP:Articles for deletion/Stars and planetary systems in fiction). The outcome of that discussion (and some further talk page discussion) was that the article was reworked from scratch and split into two separate articles: Extrasolar planets in fiction and Stars in fiction.

Multistars

I am wondering how we can squeeze here fiction set in binary star and other multiple star systems without falling into original research. - Altenmann >talk 23:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have to—that's covered at Extrasolar planets in fiction#In multiple star systems as sources mostly focus on the planets in those systems rather than the stars themselves. TompaDompa (talk) 23:35, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

{ec} P.S. I see something of it is in Extrasolar_planets_in_fiction#In_multiple_star_systems. Can this be at least cross-wikilinked here, with a couple of words, since these are kinda special type of stars? - Altenmann >talk 23:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. I'm working on and expanding this article in preparation for WP:Good article nomination, and I'll see where I can find a place for it. TompaDompa (talk) 23:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
