Not notable as only sources mentioned it (outside of ) are catalogues and tables. Sam-2727 (talk) 16:27, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. See WP:NASTRO, which specifically lists the NGC catalog as being of sufficient importance that objects in it are considered notable enough for a stand-alone article. Aldebarium (talk) 18:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:NASTRO contains many suggestions on how to determine if an object is notable, but doesn't determine notability. See the note at the bottom of the criteria section: "Note 1: These criteria do not supersede WP:NOTABILITY, they merely supplement and clarify it within the context of astronomical objects." This object fails general notability criteria as there isn't significant coverage of it in any sources (that I could find, at least). Sam-2727 (talk) 00:56, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. unfortunately sourcing is tricky for many astronomical objects and becomes an amalgam of many brief mentions in articles with large numbers of objects. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:53, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , could you expand on your reasoning for why this article still meets the general notability requirements? I'm not sure I completely understand your point. Sam-2727 (talk) 03:47, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * because many many astronomical objects are covered fleetingly in anywhere up to 100 papers each. So they have bene studied in passing to build up a composite picture of them. This is radically different to other items, which are covered in detail in fewer sources. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:14, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
