This just duplicates or overlaps the information at Comet. I don't see any point in keeping this as a separate article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.242.119 (talk) 10:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Centaurs are comet nucleus that are currently dormant, but are on unstable orbits that will bring many of them closer to the sun where they will become active comets. Centaurs become comets, and comets become centaurs. The comet article should deal with traditional comets with bright tails, their history as omens of death and other myths. The comet nucleus article should eventually have more to do with what these objects are made of and overlap with a lot of centaur and TNO concepts. Coma (cometary) has its own article, should it be merged into the comet article? -- Kheider (talk) 15:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
I understand the arguments made in opposition, but at the moment the Comet article contains at least as much -- probably more -- information about comet nuclei than this supposed "detail" article, and none of the information in this "detail" article covers any ground that is not within the compass of the Comet article. Therefore, given the present state of the articles, the present organisation does not, in my opinion, make any sense. If it's thought that Comet may potentially become too long and unfocused if "non-traditional-comet" comet nuclei info is added there, then perhaps we should migrate much of the nuclei detail from Comet to this article now?

I also agree that this should be combined with comets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.155.164 (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
There is no reason for it to be seperate and anyone looking for information on comets won't think to search for comet (nucleus) so it's a waste of the resorce —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.83.85.180 (talk) 13:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Maybe this isn't important, but under the size heading, I noticed that the article claims Comet Borrelly (8x4x4) is half the size of Halley's Comet (15x8x8). While each of the dimensions of Borrelly is, in fact, half of the length of the corresponding dimension of Halley's, that makes it one eighth the size (volume). If it's normal to define comet size by the major axis length then please let me know, I'm not going to change it yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.139.226 (talk) 04:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
I think a merge is the best way forward. If clicking on the link doesn't give new information, it's not worth having a separate article. Albedo is mentioned under how dark they are. It was probably premature, as you say, so thanks for reining me in. Jamesx12345 07:52, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
