Vandalism, apparently.
This article apparently contains/is vandalism.
Hey, I'm just the messenger. Tom Morris 22:00, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- It seems to be real constellation. WP covers it [1] and has citations. Google turns up many other links, apparently legitimate.
- I think it needs expansion & improvement rather than deletion. "What links here" shows many links; deleting this would turn them all red, unless we also go change the links.
- Is there an astronomy editor in the house? Sandy Harris 01:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- The Editorial Council made it clear in one its resolutions a while ago that short, non-expanded articles such as this could, and should, be deleted. No one has worked on this one in three years. Why should we keep it? Because WP has an article about it? The article itself isn't vandalism, it's the fact of the article being here that I object to. Hayford Peirce 01:23, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- No, I agree with Sandy. This is a valid entry that contains valid information. Moreover, the EC resolution does not authorize "speedydeletes". It requests a period of four weeks during that it can be contested. I improved its format. Because of its topic it is likely to stay short. --Peter Schmitt 01:40, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- I believe Thorsten Alteholz produced a complete set of constellation stubs. Ro Thorpe 02:18, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- What does "313 stars" mean? The number depends on the magnitude threshold. Peter Jackson 10:47, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- I took the number from the infobox in the original version. Perhaps (probably)"visible stars"? The original page also contains a template list of all official constellations (Very WP style, all this!) that has to be transferred to a Catalog of Constellation, I would say, and referred to in Related changes. (And "constellation" will need disambiguation?)
- All this information and its history would be destroyed by deleting these pages -- a radical step that would not be justified. --Peter Schmitt 11:21, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
