This article was tagged as CSD:G12 as a copyright violation of |Click. the JPL page has an ambigious copyright notice saying only that the contents may be subject to copyright. Given that a government contract is involved, there is the likelihood that some content is in the public domain. Without more information, I'm not sure how to proceed, and concluded a discussion was in order. If we conclude that the text is a copyright violation, please note that it is also found in another article Meanings of minor planet names: 260,001–270,000 and will need to be corrected there.

There exists an alternative reason for deletion, which is that the article appears to fail the WP:NASTRO Notability guideline. All the media reports are about the naming, and are perfunctory. Monty 845  15:07, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of minor planets: 260001–261000 per WP:NASTHELP. It fails WP:GNG. Praemonitus (talk) 00:15, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Not copyvio The notice is the standard US Government disclaimer that such things as illustrations they reprint from elsewhere may have unfree copyright. Their practice which we accept is to put a notice on such items. This material seems their own work. &#39;DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 21:17, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect. I could not find any sources other than database entries about this object, so it fails WP:NASTRO, but redirection rather than deletion seems to be the more typical outcome for asteroids. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:29, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
