This asteroid unfortunately does not appear to meet notability requirements outlined at WP:NASTRO. Being rather unfamiliar with astronomy's naming conventions, perhaps I'm searching incorrectly, but searching Google Books, News, News archives, and Scholar for "(16001) 1999 AY21" turned up nothing but this, a book which seems only to list astronomical objects rather than giving significant coverage of them. If I've missed anything, please correct me, but it seems that this asteroid does not meet basic notability requirements. CtP (t • c) 23:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of minor planets: 16001–17000 per WP:NASTHELP, or else delete – None of the sources I could find satisfy the "significant coverage" requirement of WP:GNG. Interestingly, this so-called "article" is almost entirely composed of interface elements with only a single line of actual content. Regards, RJH (talk) 14:29, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect per WP:NASTRO. This article contains no useful information that could not be provided by an entry in a list. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
