  We construct a scenario where the outburst of the young-stellar-object
ASASSN-15qi is an intermediate luminosity optical transient (ILOT). In this
scenario a sub-Jupiter young planet was tidally destructed on to a young
main-sequence star. The system is young, therefore the radius of the planet is
larger than its final value, and consequently its density is smaller. The lower
density allows the tidal destruction of the young Saturn-like planet on to the
main-sequence star of mass $\approx 2.4~\rm{M_\odot}$, resulting in a formation
of a disc and a gravitationally-powered ILOT. Unlike the case of the more
energetic ILOT V838~Mon, the mass of the destructed planet is too low to
inflate a giant envelope, and hence the merger remnant stays hot. If our
suggested model holds, this ILOT possesses two interesting properties: (1) its
luminosity and total energy are below those of novae, and (2) it is not as red
as other ILOTs. The unusual outburst of ASASSN-15qi, if indeed is an ILOT,
further increases the diversity of the already heterogeneous group of ILOTs. We
mark the region on the energy-time diagram occupied by such young ILOTs.
