"Godzilla" is a candidate star at best
The classification of "Godzilla" as a star is based on conjecture in one scientific paper, in which the authors suggest that the object could be a single, variable star. It is definitely possible that it is a single star, but it is far from being solid fact. It might be something else, or it might be a combination of a luminous variable star and a group of less luminous stars, or something else - it is simply not well established at this point. I think this article should be edited to reflect the candidate nature of the object. The authors of said paper should certainly be credited with the suggestion if it is confirmed by additional work - but at the moment, it is just not more than a suggested explanation to, what the observed feature is.

 * OK, no one is reacting to this. I think I am either going to take this article down or edit it heavily. Godzilla is a *proposed* variable star, but far from confirmed as such. This article is misleading regarding the current scientific status of this object, presenting conjecture as fact. Thriveth (talk) 07:29, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
