KIC 10001893 → Kepler-429 – WP:STARNAMES provides no clear guidance here, but seems to favor names that are easily human-readable. All other Kepler planetary host stars seem to follow this convention. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 15:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. ExtorcDev (talk) 14:30, 18 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Tricky. Kepler-429 is a much more appealing name, but it runs into several problems. First, hardly anyone outside Wikipedia ever uses it, and none of the sources in the article except Simbad. Second, it implies confirmed planets, and while the planets were confirmed enough for the name to have been assigned, they have since been shown to be doubtful at best. I have a better solution: delete the article. Notability is borderline even with three planets, and not notable at all without them. Lithopsian (talk) 16:48, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support, the nomination's wording, "easily human-readable", sums it up. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:59, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
