This feature has no common name; unofficial or otherwise, so the name of this article is problematic. It is also not true that the feature has been known to the general public 'for a few days as of June 19, 2015'; it has been reported on as far back as May ( example; the feature is visible in this animation released on 11 May). -- Njardarlogar ( talk) 11:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Have we established a coordinate system on Ceres yet? If so, we could just use the coordinate location (with an appropriate descriptor attached as well). -- 70.51.203.69 ( talk) 05:01, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
FWIW - just created a possible quad map of Ceres [2] (see below - and at " Ceres (dwarf planet)#Map of Quadrangles") - which may - or may not - be helpful with this - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 22:17, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
The following imagemap of the dwarf planet Ceres is divided into 15 quadrangles – which may be provisional at the present time. [2] North is at the top; 0 East is at the far left on the equator. The map images were taken by the Dawn space probe.

I'm afraid " pyramid" is a sensationalist characterization. A pyramid by definition has triangular sides, and the NASA image of this feature shows no evidence of triangular sides. Being roundish, and its peak having a somewhat lower albedo than its sides, it vaguely resembles a barnacle.
As it is not pyramid-shaped, the article's name should certainly be changed. 174.24.39.82 ( talk) 09:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
FWIW - another "name" used by NASA seems to be "intriguing mountain" [2] based on a NASA file description of a somewhat newer Dawn image of the mountain - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 13:36, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Coverage has grown substantially in the past day. Suggest we speedily agree to rename the article Pyramid-shaped mountain on Ceres.
Numerous quality sources are using the "pyramid" name for the mountain;
There are still other examples. "Pyramid" is in wide use. The term "Great Pyramid" is not further mentioned. So it should go, and I now believe we should expedite. At least I got the title partly right! Jus da fax 22:32, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Has anyone determined the location of this object yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MDWeathers ( talk • contribs) 23:23, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
Seems the "pyramid-shaped" mountain on Ceres appeared in images (see images below) well before (ie, ≤ " 19 February 2015") the mountain's "discovery" date of "6 June 2015", currently presented in the main article. However, these images were deleted, without discussion, on 28 July 2015 by User:Kwamikagami.
QUESTION: Should these images (as well as, other deleted undiscussed article content?) be restored to the main article - or Not? - Comments welcome - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 12:20, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
@ Kwamikagami: Thank you for your comments - they're *very much* appreciated - yes - agreed - no problem whatsoever - Thanks again for your comments - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 14:03, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
I strongly object to the deletion of the majority of the article, and propose we restore it to the version prior to the massive cuts. Jus da fax 16:19, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Features on the world Ceres other than craters are to be named after agricultural festivals. Since there is only one large mountain, it might have been fitting to name it Cerealia after the festival of the goddess Ceres. However, the powers that be have apparently chosen Ysolo Mons after the ancient Albanian eggplant planting party. Maybe someone thought this mountain looks more like an eggplant than a pyramid.

The Science journal just released a special issue with lots of new info on Ceres, however it is behind a paywall. Anybody has access to it? Cheers, BatteryIncluded ( talk) 14:09, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
