Why is The Planetary Society listed here? It's not a website, it's an NGO. Are you going to add NASA because it has a website? Or the Keck Observatory, because it has a website? -- 76.65.131.160 ( talk) 05:49, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I think this page, a merge of several not-quite-wikipedia-notable astronomy websites, is a good idea. I think it should be generalised further, to contain all well-known, well-used, reliable popular astronomy resources, not just those with stand-alone article. Limiting the list to standalone articles kind of defeats its purpose.
I'd like to see the few material removals in the history reversed.
I guess, but do not know, that sources discussing these resources exist, probably in subscription magazines and popular books. If so, this could merit a standalone article. If not, the list could be merged to Amateur astronomy. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 06:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I think that too few editors really interested in this, and that an RfC would just increase the existing RfC exhaustion. There are already enough comments at DRV and the multiple AfDs. I think that List of astronomy websites is a dubious list article. It purports to be a listing of websites with their own articles, but each of the articles is very weak, and I think should be converted to a redirect. This then invalidates the standing of the website on the list. I’m thinking it needs to be merged to Amateur astronomy, in a section titled “Resources”. These websites, and some other resources, are all part of the topic "amature astronomy". I feel there is a clear distinction with professional or academic astronomy. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 01:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
