Talk:Westerlund 1-243

Help me shorten down the spectrum section
Could anyone help me to short down the spectrum section? It's way too long. Nussun05 (talk) 12:22, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Maybe you wrote this and then edited it yourself, but I'd say it could easily be longer.  Easy to forget, but essentially everything we know about the star comes from its spectrum.  Very important.  Lithopsian (talk) 19:14, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 13 March 2023

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: procedural close. This isn't really a "no consensus" due to low attendance. Initial nominator now prefers a different name and should nominate all relevant pages for that together as a new RM.

Westerlund 1-243 → Westerlund 1 W243 – Per discussion from Talk:Westerlund 1 W26. However, I know the title of one of references currently used in the article referred this star to as Westerlund 1-243 (the current title for the article), but most papers, even the rest of the said source, still refer it to simply as W243.

 * Oppose: as with W26, we shouldn't be making up designations that aren't in use in the real world. "Westerlund 1 W243" as such doesn't seem to be used anywhere, except for sources copied from Wikipedia.  The close "Cl* Westerlund 1 W 243" is listed at Simbad, even closer if we choose to drop the "Cl*", but that is essentially just made up based on sources that only use the term "W243".  W243 is in widespread use, albeit in situations where the context of being in Westerlund 1 is obvious.  That title for a Wikipedia article is available, although disambiguating such a short designation might be wiser.  W243 (star) would seem to be both unambiguous and accurate.  Similar to W26, the term "Wd1-W243" has been used once, and "Wd1 W243" a handful of times.  Lithopsian (talk) 14:23, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * How about Westerlund 1 W26 then. Should we have moved Westerlund 1 W26 to W26 (star) to begin with? Regards— ZaperaWiki44 (✉/Contribs) 15:33, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
