Merge other mass articles with this one?

With "concerns" about the stubbyness of some mass articles, should the Solar mass article be merged into this?

Should other mass articles; Jupiter mass, Earth mass, Lunar mass be merged into this article?

This could be done under a heading "Other units used in Astronomy". HarryAlffa (talk) 11:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Solar mass

Oppose I think there is enough out there that it can be kept as a standalone article. 76.66.196.139 (talk) 06:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Oppose If there's one "astronomical mass" article that should remain independent, it's this one. The solar mass effectively serves as the standard for all the other masses. Physchim62 (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Jupiter mass

Oppose I think there is enough out there that it can be kept as a standalone article. 76.66.196.139 (talk) 06:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Support merge into an article on planetary mass. Physchim62 (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Earth mass

Neutral 76.66.196.139 (talk) 06:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Support merge into an article on planetary mass. Physchim62 (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Lunar mass

Support though the article currently says it is about the IAU defined units... perhaps two articles are in order, one for the IAU units, and one for other units... 76.66.196.139 (talk) 06:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Support merge into an article on planetary mass. Physchim62 (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

I would prefer a separate article on planetary mass rather than merging them here: they are empirical quantities rather than a system of units. Physchim62 (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
