Fictional location (but Star Wars...). I am actually surprised Cloud City doesn't have an entry that this could be merged too (but the odds are it wouldn't be notable as well). While this WP:PLOT element appears in SW movies and other media, it is pretty niche (keep in mind we are talking about the gas giant Cloud City orbits, not the CC itself even), so it is just a landmark seen in the sk, nobody walks on it, fights over it, etc. Of course, WP:BEFORE shows some mentions in passing (it is a landmark that characters mention, etc.) but it has no real world significance/impact, and even official SW materials are sparse on it, since after all, it is just an uninhabitable gas giant, eye candy in the background of the movies/etc. As such, fails WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION/WP:PLOT. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:05, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Star Wars planets and moons as not notable as I said in the previous move discussion for this article._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect I do love Star Wars, but feel this would really belong to Star Wars wikipedia and not this one, I agree with Zx on a redirect. Govvy (talk) 17:54, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Star Wars planets and moons. As mentioned in the nom, the actual planet of Bespin, itself, plays little role in the movies, and thus actually does not have much in the way of reliable sources that go into much depth about it. However, its role as a background element of "The Empire Strikes Back" does make it a valid search term, and it is one of the planets that should actually be on that target list. Merging can be done if needed, but it looks like the target list already has the essential information on it there (its a source of Tibana Gas, Cloud City orbits it, etc.).
