"juxta Crucem" is appearently in a lyric from the hymn Stabat Mater. But it is not connected with this star. See Stabat Mater#Text and translation.--Bay Flam 14:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bay Flam ( talk • contribs)
With a parallax of 14.3 mas shouldn't the distance be 227.97 ly? Ian Christie —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianchristie ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Calidum 02:36, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
– The titles of several articles about stars in the constellation Crux were recently moved from being titled with their Bayer designations to being titled with proper names. The moves were made (on 25 April 2019) as reverts of undiscussed moves with the rationale that the proper names were now approved by the IAU. This basis was somewhat misleading: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Crucis were renamed in 2006, and for 13 years nobody had a problem; Delta Crucis had never been called Imai or Imai (star), although it was titled Decrux until 2009; and Epsilon Crucis had never been named Ginan or Ginan (star) (originally titled Juxta Crucem!). In any case, now is a good time to have a discussion. I have included all five star articles that were renamed, hopefully that doesn't become too confusing.
Based on WP:TITLE, the title of the article should reflect the most recognisable and commonly-used name for the subject of the article. I'm not in the southern hemisphere so clearly not the best judge, but I would contend that the most recognisable names for Epsilon and Delta are certainly not the proper names, and it is arguable whether the proper names for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma are really the most recognisable and widely-used. I would propose that all five be moved back to their Bayer designations. Lithopsian ( talk) 13:53, 9 August 2019 (UTC)--Relisting.

Ginan (star) → Epsilon Crucis – The name "Ginan" has not come into widespread use for this star. There are hits at web pages based on Wikipedia and some other popular sites, a few hits in books, mostly related to history and indigenous astronomy, almost none in scientific publications. The article was renamed from the title Epsilon Crucis in 2018. See also the previous group requested move on this page and Requested move 16 October 2021 for related discussions about the preferred titles for the main stars of Crux.
