Does not meet WP:NASTRO. All coverage appears to be in comprehensive sources, databases, or passing mentions in the literature, with nothing dedicated specifically to this galaxy.

 * Comment This galaxy was discovered in 1784 so it seems it does meet WP:NASTRO #4. Thincat (talk) 19:10, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Good catch; I missed that part. I still have concerns about the apparent dearth of sources, though I could see this being redirected or left as a WP:PERMASTUB if a pre-1850 discovery is sufficient by itself. Complex / Rational  19:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: While I didn't find any dedicated studies, it has been the target of a number of amateur observations and has entries in a pair of observer catalogues. I added some data with references and links to the other language wikipedias. Praemonitus (talk) 16:24, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. I agree with some of the nominator's concerns, though as WP:NASTRO criteria 4 states that The object was discovered before 1850, prior to the use of astrophotography or automated technology I am at weak keep. There appears to be a few Google Scholar articles based on a preview version, 1, 2, 3, though I'm unsure whether these are trivial mentions or sources that could be useful towards expanding this stub.

 * Weak Keep per Praemonitus and VickKiang. Double sharp (talk) 10:07, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per WP:NASTRO#4, articles who subjects are astronomical objects discovered before 1850 are presumed notable. Per WP:N, an article subject is presumed notable if it meets either the general notability guideline... or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (emphasis mine), provided that the subject is not excluded by WP:NOT. I see no WP:NOT-based reason to delete the article, and the article subject clearly passes WP:NASTRO, so it should be kept. —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
