[edit]@Buidhe: IMO, this list doesn't need sources. The very proof is in the name of the comet. If the comet has a name, then it fits into this list. If the comet doesn't have a name and it's name is made of codes (e.g. P/1999 J6), then it doesn't fit into this list. Avram25 (talk) 02:19, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- Avram25, at the very least you'd need a source for "2I/Borisov" as it doesn't have "Comet" in the name. buidhe 02:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Buidhe: I've added such a reference. Avram25 (talk) 13:31, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
