Recent Planet X hype

Anyone want to expand this article with the recent major Planet X hype? Bubba41102^{The place where you can scream at me} 13:58, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

This should really be merged with Niburu

They're never treated as separate by cranks, afaik. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 04:20, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Except now there's a real candidate planet X. ikanreed ^{You probably didn't deserve that} 04:53, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

So we merge and add a hanote: not to be confused with the real candidate Planet X. I mean, come on, Planet X is an established crank term at this point. We're not encyclopedic, we cover crankery. S'fine. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 04:55, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

As long as I don't have to do the difficult work of making the combined article then. ikanreed ^{You probably didn't deserve that} 04:59, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

No, I'll prolly be the one to mash'em together like two action figures simulating coitus... Reverend Black Percy (talk) 05:08, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion

RW sets up a crowd sourcing fund to name two Oort Cloud entities 'Planet X' and 'Nibiru'. The cranks thus have the (solar) wind taken out of their collective sails. 31.51.113.243 (talk) 21:54, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

I would be surprised if that hasn't already been done, to be honest. XD Though probably more for asteroids or Kuiper Belt Objects, since I don't think we have many examples of actual Oort Cloud things yet. -- Onychoprion (talk) 21:57, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Doesn't appear to be so - get eg [2] and [3] (The 'Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies' is more legitimate than either of these.)

Perhaps the idea could be suggested to NASA/the International Astronomical Union (who would be the most relevant authorities).

I doubt cranks would like to see that Nibiru is just a tiny block of ice with the size of a very large city, but it would be hilarious--Panzerfaust (talk) 22:03, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Long live Nibiru McPlanetXface! 86.191.125.203 (talk) 21:41, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

The relevant links are [4]/[5]. How often are 'a major international body' and Rationalwiki in total alignment? Anna Livia (talk) 15:44, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
