G Doradus28 G. Doradus – G Doradus is not a real Bayer designation, and when you search for ‘G Doradus’, you’ll more likely get results for Gamma Doradus or the Gamma Doradus variable. Very misleading.

  • Comment I see that the text says The bayer designation "G Doradus" was not assigned by Benjamin Gould or Lacaille. It merely arose due to the designation assigned by Gould; 28 G. Doradus. If this is the case I agree that the page should be moved, but it's tagged with "citation needed". Do you have a source for it? SevenSpheres (talk) 20:54, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, but this designation seems to be created by Wikipedia. Only the Wikipedia search result shows “G Doradus”. Astronomical Editor (talk) 00:08, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's in SIMBAD. SevenSpheres (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry I'm late to the discussion, but the claim is from page 137 in Lost Stars: Lost, Missing and Troublesome Stars from the Catalogues of Johannes Bayer, Nicholas Louis de Lacaille, John Flamsteed, and Sundry Others". I meant to put the citation in there earlier, but I forgot to do that. Speed doesn't always mean quality 400Weir (talk) 23:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relist, to allow further discussion of whether a hatnote will be sufficient BilledMammal (talk) 19:05, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose there is an explanation for the weird Bayer designation in Wagman (2003) on page 137. Speed doesn't always mean quality 400Weir (talk) 23:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
