− So long as we're not adding things like "Oh yeah, and this planet also was named the same in episode X of Doctor Who," is it OK to add derivations for the names of planets when there is either a 99.9% certainty of a name's origin (such as [[Krung Thep]] being named after the city of Bangkok), or a great likelyhood that the designers intended a certain name as a reference (such as the planets [[Maxwell]], [[Silver]] and [[Hammer (system)|Hammer]] in such close proximity possibly being a reference to the Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer")?[[Special:Contributions/216.52.210.41|216.52.210.41]] 00:39, 20 August 2009 (UTC) + So long as we're not adding things like "Oh yeah, and this planet also was named the same in episode X of Doctor Who," is it OK to add derivations for the names of planets when there is either a 99.9% certainty of a name's origin (such as [[Krung Thep]] being named after the city of Bangkok), or a great likelyhood that the designers intended a certain name as a reference (such as the planets [[Maxwell]], [[Silver]] and [[Hammer]] in such close proximity possibly being a reference to the Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer")?[[Special:Contributions/216.52.210.41|216.52.210.41]] 00:39, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:If you know the origin 100%, I say you should feel free to add the information. Just be careful, sometimes you might suspect an origin, but the etymology of a planet's name might be explained in a completely unexpected manner. For instance, I would personally never have guessed the planet [[Taurus]] was "...so named after [Samantha] Calderon's second husband, Victor Taurens, who had perished during the initial penetration of the Hyades asteroid field."
