Name of the article[edit]

Is this star referred to as WOH S264 in any source? Both SIMBAD and recent papers use W60 B90, why is the WOH designation selected as the main one? VY Canis Majoris (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, W60 B90 seems to be the more recognizable and popular designation. The Space Enthusiast (talk) 22:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s what I was thinking. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 08:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that WOH S264 should be the current title. It is much more readable and beautiful than [W60] B90. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 13:52, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:UCRN. Just because WOH S264 is more readable and more pleasant sounding doesn't mean it should be the title. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 13:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But that name will still have problems with Wikipedia, which doesn't support square brackets ("[") in titles. Therefore, "WOH S264" is the most appropriate name anyway, is commonly recognizable and at least it can be pronounced easily without having to spell out the letters.

The just call it W60 B90 instead since that is basically the same name. Also, in my opinion it is easier to say W60 B90 than WOH S264. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 14:40, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
