No actual prose coverage, article was created in 2012 but was since abandoned and orphaned. Other pages offer more relevant content such as Template:2012 in space and 2012 in spaceflight, and there are no other similar articles with this title (20XX in astronomy).

• Delete per the existence of the template and no real pattern of "astronomy in year" articles. Sam-2727 (talk) 23:05, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – Article does not provide much information about astrology and significance of 2012 in astrology. Ashishkafle (talk) 12:57, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For your interest, there's a (significant) difference between astronomy and astrology. Ealuscerwen (talk) 15:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Currently, this is the only '[year] in astronomy' article. As it stands, it contains almost no actual information. If someone wants to, they can recreate this as a substantial article (preferably with the less restrictive title pattern of "[year] in space"), but currently this article is redundant and not up to encyclopedic standards.
