Fails WP:NASTRO. A surprising number of published papers mention this object, but only as a part of large surveys and lists. I couldn't find any mention of it in a dedicated study or as part of a small number of objects. Lithopsian (talk) 14:12, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

- Weak keep. Apparently it was discovered in 1785, so it fulfills criterion 4, but the coverage doesn't go beyond table listings, ie. [1][2]. --C messier (talk) 13:57, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of NGC objects (3001–4000); I already added an entry. This uninteresting galaxy only appears to have been studied in surveys; there are no dedicated studies that I could find. It fails to satisfy WP:GNG. Praemonitus (talk) 14:23, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 14:53, 10 November 2022 (UTC)- Redirect as described above. The references to this galaxy in NED seem to be mostly in catalog papers and surveys, with little or no literature specific to this galaxy. Just being in the NGC catalog isn't enough for notability.
