Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of minor planets: 500001–501000
the ''Meanings of minor planet names'' pages. Maybe we could merge all these pages into a parent Meanings of minor planet names: 500,001–600,000 page. (That sounds like a lot of work, but maybe it could be automated somehow?) The meanings of pages past 500 000 are indeed particularly sparse (note that as of May 2019, List of named minor planets (alphabetical)|there are only 21922 named minor planets), but the occasional one does show up (e.g. Meanings_of_minor_planet_names:_510001–511000|510045 Vincematteo). Supposedly the number of named minor planets is growing at a rate of about 670 namings per year, but we can always  later if necessary. '''Keep''' the ''List of minor planet'' pages. This Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_asteroids|AfD for the list of minor planets page is a bit old, but I think it establishes that the concept of a list of minor planets is notable.  suggests that it is acceptable for certain types of lists (e.g. all known species within a taxonomic family) to be exhaustive. I'd argue that a list of minor planets also falls under that category. I think the list of minor planets page was only split into subpages to keep the page sizes manageable, so the overarching notability of the list as a whole should still be applicable to these subpages, in my view. Per Wikipedia:Copyright in lists, I don't think there's any copyright concern. Facts aren't copyrightable, and the minor planet data being listed here doesn't particularly involve any creativity in selection or arrangement
