S ori 52

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article makes one claim for notability, but it has no citation and is almost certainly untrue. It was discovered six years after the Keck Telescope began observations and was observed once with that telescope a year after that. I could find no peer-reviewed or secondary publications specific to this object, and only a total of nine papers mentioning including it in tables or listings.

 * Delete. TNT, specifically. S Ori 52 (the article doesn't even get the capitalization right) is a rogue planet candidate, and gets some discussion in that context. It's included in the table of rogue planet candidates at, fittingly rogue planet (and I'd advocate for a redirect if this title was correct!) -- although I'll note that the entry there is badly incomplete, and the estimated mass doesn't match the sources (the discovery announcement in Science gives a mass estimate of 5-15 MJ; in general, that article is neither well-researched nor well-referenced). I'm not sure whether or not S Ori 52 is independently notable, as most discussions of the object do so in conjunction with other, similar bodies associated with σ Orionis. In any case, what we have here is arguably worse than useless. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:00, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
