I'd like to renominate this article for deletion. That might be a taboo thing to do normally, but in this case NASTRO has changed (in response to the original AfD in fact) to specifically exclude NGC objects as being of "historical importance." On the merits of GNG alone, this fails to be considered notable. The first result on google scholar is a mistranscription (it's actually NGC 5291), and everything else is a trivial reference.

NGC 529 has 90 references on simbad http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id-refs?Ident=%401546576&Name=NGC%20%20%20529 and is part of the NGC 383 and NGC 507 groups which are part of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster. Sources:http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-ref?bibcode=1994AJ....108...33S, http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-ref?bibcode=1993A%26AS..100...47G, http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-ref?bibcode=1993AJ....105.1251W173.44.244.196 (talk) 18:07, 27 July 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Note to closer Consensus seems to be redirecting NGC objects to list of NGC objects, so if consensus is to delete, the article should be redirected to list of NGC objects. Sam-2727 (talk) 02:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to list of NGC objects. I have not looked at all of the 90 papers in which SIMBAD believes that this object appears, but their titles and numbers of discussed objects all suggest that they are considering groups or populations of galaxies in the round.  A spot-check of some of the more likely candidates confirmed this.  In none of the papers is NGC 529 mentioned by name in the title or abstract.  In the absence of a counter-example, discussion of this galaxy appears to be entirely routine mentions in larger surveys or analysis of groups of galaxies, and hence it fails WP:NASTRO.

 * Delete / redirect. I've been unable to find any reliable source with substantial commentary on this specific galaxy. I didn't check every single paper associated with it by SIMBAD, but from the titles they all seem to be entries in large catalogues or surveys. ADS finds no papers at all that mention it in the abstract. Like the nominator, I found most Google Scholar hits to be really about NGC 5291. Fails both NASTRO and GNG.
