The result was delete and redirect to Photosphere. Sandstein (talk) 22:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article is about a concept similar to a Alderson disk or Dyson sphere but has no valid references so it's probably an original research (maybe based on the preceding two concepts). Since - according to google - a solar disk seems to have only the trivial meaning "the disk made by the sun", deletion seems to be appropriate. I'm here because the article has been proposed for deletion twice but the creator has deleted the tags. Cenarium (talk) 01:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete... sort of - it seems unreferenced, and to be covered by Alderson disk or Dyson sphere. From my limited knowledge of solar astronomy, the solar disc is the face of the sun as we see it. Maybe keep the page, but give it its proper meaning. - mattbuck 02:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Photosphere. Solar disk/Solar disc is a term typically used to describe visible "disk" of the sun in the sky. The photosphere of the sun is the region where externally received light comes from. Kesac (talk) 03:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Photosphere. Crackpot idea with no independent supporting references. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If redirected to Photosphere, something should be added on the solar disk in this article.--Cenarium (talk) 13:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Why should we retain original research by putting it into photosphere? Uncle G (talk) 16:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think he means put info about solar disc being the visible disc of the sun to the article. - mattbuck 23:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Photosphere or Dabify to Alderson disk and Photosphere.--Lenticel (talk) 23:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete then Redirect to Photosphere, hatnote dab to the Egyptian sun disk god Aten. Do not dab to Alderson disk. Original Research and not a usage that is found in the wild. 132.205.44.5 (talk) 00:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
