[edit]

I was WP:BOLD and migrated this topic to a separate page so it is easier to watch. Praemonitus (talk) 15:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NGC Objects

[edit]

 Comment: Turkish Wikipedia has all of the NGC objects. tr:Kategori:NGC cisimleri --Evolutionoftheuniverse (talk) 14:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think quite a few language Wikipedias have all of them as well. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can we get someone who can translate those article to English? PrathuCoder (talk) 06:28, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be working on this list now, starting with NGG 855. Bear with me. Galaxyfriend (talk) 20:40, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's nice. Good luck! PrathuCoder (talk) 23:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I've already made the pages NGC 1220 and NGC 1218, and I'm going to aim to do all of these objects in order (starting with NGC 1252), excepting those that fail the notability guidelines. Anyone who wants to help contribute to this project or is already working on one of these pages should notify me, as I will not be checking to make sure that no-one else is in the process of creating these pages.

Note: Most clusters and some stars are generally non-notable, while all galaxies and most nebulae are notable. Sir MemeGod ._. (talk - contribs - created articles) 03:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My experience has been that many NGC galaxies are not notable by the criteria of WP:GNG or WP:NASTRO. Praemonitus (talk) 04:28, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's an eye-opener. I thought that every NGC galaxy just automatically fit under WP:NASTRO, as just being a... well... New General Catalogue galaxy. Sir MemeGod ._. (talk - contribs - created articles) 04:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to create a new section of other notable objects from different catalogues

[edit]

Hi guys, beside having a section of requested NGC objects, stars and astronomers, I think a new section can be created for other objects from 2MASX, SDSS and IRAS catalogues that have been covered significantly in studies, to make the process easier for other editors to locate and create them. What do y'all think? Galaxybeing (talk) 10:23, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The section on NGC objects was based on an investigation of notability for those objects. There are a number of NGC objects that are non-notable, so I believed it would be useful to have a more focused list. Praemonitus (talk) 16:27, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
