Merge to Ganymede (moon). There is not enough information unique to this possibility of life on Ganymede to warrant a separate page on the subject. There might, in my opinion, be a page on the more general subject of life on icy moons with subsurface oceans, but the editor (DN-boards1) who created this page on life on Ganymede, and several other very similar pages, has chosen otherwise. Really, we don't need a fragmentation of Wiki into lots of micro pages. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 13:24, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge for the same reasons given at Talk:Life on Callisto: Ganymede (moon) has a readable prose size of 29 kB, which, according to WP:SIZERULE, puts it solidly in "length alone does not justify division" territory. I can't see anything else that could justify division of the main Ganymede article. Content of this article should go into Ganymede (moon)#Subsurface oceans.

Merge - Can't make so many articles on life based on a speculation. That user can't distinguish between a speculation and a hypothesis. It hardly qualifies for a mention in the Ganymede article. BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:58, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Merge Callisto and Ganymede, keep Enceladus and Europa for the fact they have enough potential content, and are considered the most likely places AND have the most content written about them. DN-boards1 (talk) 16:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: I'm "voting", now, since the creator of the page is also voting. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 16:23, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. Please note that, on Wikipedia, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of the arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. Cheers.

Merge - The article title is a false claim. There are no reliable sources proving there is "life" at that location. —Telpardec TALK 07:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
