Also, T:EVIL TWIN states that no article is too small and "any noun mentioned in any narrative is fair game for an article here". - I don't think that people are saying the lack of impact of Akhaten's disappearance means it cannot be a star; I thought the point meant it couldn't be a celestial body (but I don't agree with that point anyway, as I outlined in my other post).

The reason I don't think Akhaten is a star is because it's called a planet, but never called a star. There is one line of dialogue about "light from an alien sun" that could be referring to Akhaten, but could also be referring to an unseen star (which isn't unexpected, since there are at least seven planets that we didn't see). Info on the BBC website also explicitly calls it "The planet Akhaten" if you want to discuss intention (although its not treated as a reliable source on the wiki).

Also, the name "Sun-singers of Akhet" to me indicates that the sun of the solar system is Akhet.

Hearing each other from asteroids makes as much sense as when they are in places with no atmosphere and not killed (including riding the moped bedtween asteroids in this episode); the start of the 2011 Christmas special really bothered me in that regard. You have to accept that the DWU operates according to different rules to ours.
