V538 Carinae

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article was created back in 2020 on a basis of a very large size that would make it the "largest known star" in that year, altought this size was taken from a large catalog that used a very inaccurate distance for calculate the radius. Nonetheless, it fails the notability guidelines for astronomical objects: Not visible to the naked eye (at magnitude 8.15 ), not listed in any important astromical catalogue, never received significant coverage in any reliable source and was not discovered before 1850. SIMBAD cites 29 references for this star, but all are only large catalogues. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 19:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of largest stars as an alternative to deletion per the precedent set by several other AfDs on large stars (HV 888, RX Telescopii, SMC 018136, PMMR 62): while it is clearly not notable, there is an appropriate list which should mention this star. Also, it is justifiable to keep stars which are redirects in constellation templates, so it does not need to be removed. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 15:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This star is not included in that list as it is much smaller than 700 solar radii and not well known. Praemonitus (talk) 15:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
