List of asteroids discovered by Nikolai Stepanovich Chernykh

I think this page really fails notability. I have no idea who this guy is or why his asteroid discoveries, as opposed to, say, those of Clyde Tombaugh or David Jewitt, should be worthy of their own list.  Serendi pod ous  21:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge with Nikolai Stepanovich Chernykh, which is the main article for him. I don't see a reason to have a separate article just for the list of discovered asteroids, but merging with the main article on him seems like a way to keep the content of the article without having an unnessary second article.

 * Merge per Rtyq2, the article can take up the extra data. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 22:42, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Why Chernykh and not some other astronomer? I could see this as a category, and it would still have (almost) the exact same data. Tavix (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A category would allow the reader to search for a comet by date. - Mgm|(talk) 09:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Why him and not some other astronomer? Probably because this article is the first time someone had the idea. Since having this in the original article would obviously look bad I'd prefer keeping it separated, but a merge would be my second choice. Anyway, if the astronomer is notable, we should obviously cover their discoveries somewhere, so there are no valid grounds for deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 09:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Symbol merge vote.svg|15px]] Merge — The article is only a 25k list, which could easily be merged along with the main guy. - NuclearWarfare  contact me My work  20:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into the main article Nikolai Stepanovich Chernykh. Absolutely oppose deletion of a list of documented discoveries by a notable scientist. --Zlerman (talk) 14:16, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The list is too long for the main article, and categories cannot hold all this information due to the redlinks. --Itub (talk) 19:16, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
