Doesn't seem to meet WP:NASTRO or WP:GNG, but I wasn't confident enough to unilateraly redirect to List of minor planets: 4001–5000 without input as this is a controversial area. It has been in CAT:NN for over 3 years, so hopefully we can now get it resolved, one way or the other. Boleyn (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC) Boleyn (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: I was hoping you would respect my request to ignore asteroids more than 50km in diameter during your crusade. -- Kheider (talk) 10:09, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect - The information in the article is of a very limited scope (was used for an astronomical measurement in 1994?). This belongs in a literature review for a scientists work, not an encyclopedia.  Chris  lk02  Chris Kreider 18:12, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Reluctant Redirect per WP:DWMP: it's a Trojan, but the two available scholarly references appear to be group studies. Praemonitus (talk) 04:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: @90km in diameter, it is one of the fifty largest Jupiter Trojans and the article content has been edited by a human since the ClueBot II created it. -- Kheider (talk) 10:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Neutral. If forced to make a decision I would probably go for a redirect on this one, just because there is so little source material, but as a particularly large Trojan I think it should be notable even if it actually isn't, and the fact that this is also not purely a bot-created article is also in its favor. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:54, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: It makes sense to delete articles for small main-belt asteroids, but for a Jupiter Trojan, 90 kilometers large no less, and with a known rotation period and albedo, it certainly would pass WP:NASTRO. exoplanetaryscience (talk) 14:46, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
