This article has been tagged for lack of references since 2010. I searched for sources to improve this article about a star (including SIMBAD), but they appear to be lacking. While the object is just barely visible to the naked eye and hence satisfies WP:NASTCRIT, I don't believe it meets the significant coverage requirement for general notability.

P.S. Note that the information in the Details section of the infobox is probable OR by the original contributor. Plus it's very likely incorrect, since this is an evolved giant star.

 * Delete. Unlike the nominator, I believe that we should have an article on this subject, seeing as its naked eye visibility clearly passes WP:NASTRO criterion #1. However, the article is currently in such bad shape that I think WP:BLOWITUP is applicable here; the article is currently inaccurate with nothing to revert to, and having no information is better than having inaccurate information. See here for background. StringTheory11 (t • c) 22:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
