Doesn't meet WP:NASTRO or WP:GNG, but as a low-numbered asteroid, consensus is that it is well-discussed rather than redirected unilaterally. I think it should be deleted; or (preferably) redirected to List of minor planets 1001-2000 per NASTRO's guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 08:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. It's an unusually high inclination asteroid , has been the subject of multiple early orbital studies , and has also been considered as a candidate object in an interesting orbital resonance . —David Eppstein (talk) 20:03, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per David even if his "interesting inclination" and single object resonance study seems arbitrary. Had someone studied 5+ objects in a single paper, David would have probably have blown this object off. -- Kheider (talk) 14:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Yes. I am primarily looking for multiple in-depth reliable sources that we can use to write an article that is not merely a copy of someone's database entry, and secondarily for properties that make these objects somehow unusual rather than run-of-the-mill. Sources about one object are in general more in-depth than sources about many objects, which often reduce each of the objects they study to a line in a table. I am also not counting the many papers that list favorable positions of asteroids but say nothing about them, and the many publications that list names of asteroids (because they're too unselective and not enough about the asteroid itself). —David Eppstein (talk) 16:48, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- You are aware that being the largest ~20-30 asteroids of a certain type would make an asteroid "somehow unusual rather than run-of-the-mill". -- Kheider (talk) 13:39, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

- Did you seriously just call 'taking these articles to AfD so their notability can be discussed' genocide? Seriously? ― Padenton|✉ 20:09, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
