SoP. This appears to mean nothing more than "the planet that is someone's home", despite the roundabout definition. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Keep, I believe. If homeplanet meets inclusion then home planet does too per WT:SoP ("Unidiomatic terms made up of multiple words are included if they are significantly more common than single-word spellings that meet criteria for inclusion"), since home planet is much more common (Google Ngrams (also throwing in homeworld/home world out of curiosity)). As to homeplanet, WT:ATTEST calls for three permanent sources. Here are [1], [2] (books via Google Books), [3] (article found via Google Scholar). So that seems to meet WT:CFI. (It took a bit of sifting through search results to get 3 viewable without paywall. If there are issues with those 3 (ping me), then some more could probably be found.)

  • Keep, is more an analogy to home country than a sum of its parts. Fay Freak (talk) 20:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Keep, WT:COALMINE, as homeplanet is attestable (I didn't add cites, but good uses are easily found from the first few pages of Google Books results). This, that and the other (talk) 11:20, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Keep per all of the above. PUC11:28, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
