2623 Zech

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was redirected by and reverted by. I don't think it meets WP:NASTRO or WP:GNG, and should be deleted or redirected to List of minor planets: 2001-3000. Boleyn (talk) 19:49, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I did so because it is a binary asteroid, with a small moon discovered in 2014 orbiting around it. exoplanetaryscience (talk) 19:51, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect, if said information is not referenced and in the body of the article by close of AfD.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅contribs ⋅dgaf)  20:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, since it's now in the body & referenced. There are very few binary asteroids.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅contribs ⋅dgaf)  15:27, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: The article was originally re-directed by Tom's generic bot that re-directed ~11,585 of Wikipedia's 19,400 asteroids. But the bot did not check for notability. -- Kheider (talk) 13:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: Satellite info is now sourced making 2623 Zech more than wp:Run-of-the-mill. -- Kheider (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Sourcing to a database is not good enough (a Wikipedia article should not just be a copy of someone else's database entry — what value are we adding?) and nothing else of interest found in Google scholar. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:12, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: The information about the satellite does not come from the common JPL SBDB lookup and Wikipedia is nothing more than a copy of other sources. -- Kheider (talk) 13:08, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect per WP:DWMP: the meager sources available aren't enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Praemonitus (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Praemonitus, I am surprised that you would write that given there are not that many known binary asteroids and this is a low numbered one. But if some nobody at scholar.google wrote a paper and called it "unusual" or "long" in some way, then it would be notable. Go figure. The "standards" for asteroid notability being used at Wikipedia are largely arbitrary. -- Kheider (talk) 19:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't think I can help you. Praemonitus (talk) 22:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Binary asteroids are in fact pretty rare, and this asteroid does have enough sources and coverage to write a few good sentences.Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:07, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
