1734 Zhongolovich

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:NASTRO or WP:GNG. Possibly worth redirecting to List of minor planets: 1001–2000. Boleyn (talk) 11:42, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect per nom. Tigraan (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Searching finds several reliable sources describing this asteroid specifically, e.g. this. -- 120.17.67.220 (talk) 02:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * (disclaimer: only read the abstract) I stand by my "passerby" analysis in that similar AfD, although here the asteroid is the sole subject of the scientific article. I do not think this constitutes "significant coverage" of the subject as per WP:NASTCRIT #3, because obtaining a spectrum could be done (barring technical limitations) for any asteroid, and I see no evidence than this one in particular has different properties. Yes, the resulting spectrum is detailed information that is unknown for other asteroids, but it is not significant coverage. A passerby in the street could be interviewed by television to comment on political issues and his political views may be quite unique, a short interview would still not make him notable because it could have been done with any other passerby in the same format even if the results (political views expressed) would have been different.

 * I disagree, scientific facts about asteroids are important. Also, WP:Notability_(astronomical_objects) recommends redirection rather than deletion. There's also a lot of infobox data in the article that should be kept somewhere. And the WP:Astro project should be notified of AfDs such as this. Their practice has been to keep all low-numbered asteroid articles. -- 120.17.55.175 (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect Redirect to List of minor planets: 1001–2000 seems to be preferable. Agreed with nominator. LethalFlower (talk) 23:25, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
