@ Lithopsian: Instead of just undoing what I did, saying that it needs to be done a different way, why don't you go ahead and do it the proper way? In my opinion, people who want to see who did what (attribution) can just come to this article and check. Actually most of what was done on this article was before you split the Mizar and Alcor article, and if people really want to know how the article came about they have to go there!

If Mizar A and B are revolving around each other in thousands years as written in the article aren't they then a binary starsystem? Agerskov ( talk) 23:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved to Mizar. Seems to be a consensus here that the star is the primary topic, so I've weighed that in actioning the close. ( closed by non-admin page mover) ~~~~
Zeta Ursae Majoris → Mizar (star system) – "Mizar" is the common name for this system, and also the official name recognised by the International Astronomical Union for its Aa component [1]. It is referred to such by the Encyclopædia Britannica [2], Space.com [3], Astronomy Picture of the Day [4], and EarthSky [5], among other reputable sources – Space.com and EarthSky in particular don't even make reference to the system's Bayer designation. It should also be noted as relevant points of discussion that a) this article as of writing prioritises the "Mizar" name, using it instead of its bayer designation several times, and b) the article Mizar and Alcor exists, and is not titled Zeta Ursae Majoris and Alcor, which is a consistency issue that should be resolved here with this move discussion. – PhilipTerryGraham ( talk · articles · reviews) 00:09, 7 September 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. — Amakuru ( talk) 21:36, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
