247:(hopefully a GA in the near future), I stumbled upon this. I am afraid the concept of Earthlings is not notable, as a stand-alone - and for what little it is, I already included the properly referenced discussion of this in the 'Earth in sf' article. Additionally, there is next to nothing to merge - the content here is either unreferenced, or referenced to primary sources. Also, there are dubious claims - for example the term 'Gaians' is in the lead, but it is not mentioned at all in the literature I reviewed (and even plain old google search doesn't help much, plus our disambig on
505:. I do however find it quite important that there are uses in two, well actually three, quite different contexts: one the sci-fi context as in "An inhabitant of Earth, as opposed to one of another planet"; then the older usage, especially in the Christian and Jewish tradition "An inhabitant of Earth, as opposed to one of heaven"; and then I've seen modern usage emphasizing it encompasses ALL beings from Earth with no distinction between human and animal. To allow for these distinct usages, my idea would be to rename this into

Terrans or Earthmen or such (the naming is subjective and reinforces OR in this tiny essay-ish article). As such, since I don't think there is anything to merge, I propose that this is just redirected to

I'm not sure that "Earthling" is more frequent than other forms in science fiction stories, but it's the best-known term in general pop culture (outside science fiction fandom). Cartoons of little green men in flying saucers saying "foolish earthlings" have been pretty well known for decades, at

Earthwomen), Earthsiders, Solarians, Tellurians, or Terrans", all of which are mentioned in the new big article (a few may still need

Nice find, but I can't access that page. I checked the other reference works (for "human/ity") and found nothing there. If you feel like it, maybe something from
Greenwood could be added to the "Earth in..." article, or maybe start a 'in popular culture/in fiction' section under
