Non notable enough star to held an article for itself. Not much information found to support a standalone article. Hahc21 [ TALK][ CONTRIBS 06:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC) reply
The way this translates into notability terns, I've always understood, is that stars are like geographical locations for the purposes of notability. What this means is that you can use maps as reliable sources (provided the map has a reputation for reliability—so if a location appears on an Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map, for example, it would automatically be notable). Specifically for astronomical objects, star charts count, and it's usually trivial to find objects from the Bright Star Catalogue on a star chart.
Generally, this bit of the five pillars that defines Wikipedia as a gazetteer and almanac makes it extremely difficult to delete material that's about a real (non-fictional) place, date or time.— S Marshall T/ C 15:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC) reply
