WISEPA J154151.66-225025.2 → WISE 1541-2250 – I propose moving the article back to this shorter name. User:Chermundy recently moved many similar articles with the rationale "full designation", but I think the shorter names make much more sense: the project scientists use the abbreviation to refer to this object in scientific literature, the names are still unambiguous, and the full designation is unwiedly and all the articles I checked use the abbreviation in the article body for this reason. The full designation includes more precision on the location of the star, but this information is already in sufficient detail in the observation data of the article and no one can remember all those digits.

Possible more accurate distance
If this paper is talking about the same thing (slightly different coordinates but unless there is a very close brown dwarf with the same discovery history it is the same thing) then there is a more accurate distance calculation available at the preprint stage:
