Sun Guoyou

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Amateur astronomist which recently discovered a nova. Other purported discoveries are unsourced, as is most of the article. Questionable whether this is enough to pass WP:BIO Travelbird (talk) 11:32, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm not sure of how the notability guidelines cover astronomers, so I'll stay out of the keep vs. delete thing, but I'll just note that I had much more success finding reports on the astronomical findings listed in the articles searching under the name "Guoyou Sun" - is it possible the name in the article is transposed? - ManicSpider (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Since this person is Chinese, "Sun" is his last name, and "Guoyou" his first. If you are looking at international sources, they may list him the other way around.--Danaman5 (talk) 16:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete unless more impressive sources can be found. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC).
 * Delete - My thought at this time is that while the nova, supernova, etc. that this person discovered may be notable, he himself is not.--Danaman5 (talk) 16:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
