L 97-12 → Gliese 293 – According to WP:STARNAMES, for stars that have no Bayer or Flamsteed designations, the Henry Draper Catalogue (HD) number, variable-star designation or the Gliese number should be used for the article name about the star. As L 97-12 has no HD number or Variable-star designation, the name Gliese 293 should be used. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 16:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.
