Notability concerns. Launchballer 22:29, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Someone please explain to me why we have bots creating articles?--Launchballer 22:31, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment ClueBot2 is an extremely effective vandal reversion bot. It no longer creates articles, and my understanding is that no bots are creating articles any more. This article goes back six years. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:20, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of minor planets/16801–16900 as a non-notable asteroid. I've added one reference from Google Books, which verifies it exists but doesn't count as significant coverage as required by the notability guideline for astronomical objects. The list article contains numerous unreferenced asteroids so this one now stands out by having some content beyond its name and position, as well as a reference. It might be a good idea to come up with an outcome preference here.  Philg88 ^♦talk 09:08, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that all unreferenced stubs should be flat out redirected.--Launchballer 10:16, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but this one is no longer an unreferenced stub.

Sure but the reference, which should mention that's its on page 919, lacks stat info to show whether its relevant for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_notable_asteroids Delete?

Reference fixed. I don't think the asteroid is notable as a separate topic, hence the !vote to redirect to an article where it's already listed. The info from the reference can be used there instead.  Philg88 ^♦talk 16:34, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
