The result was redirect to Luminous blue variable#List_of_LBVs. The nomination rationale is well-supported, but as there are some sources that identify it under a broader topic, a redirect seems sensible for now. I JethroBT drop me a line 07:50, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Fails WP:NASTCRIT. I can't find any specific papers about this star, and as the article itself even mentions there is little information actually known about it. Only reliable references are from wide-field surveys such as "the whole Magellanic Cloud" and similar. Primefac (talk) 21:34, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- (Copied from talk) PLZ don't delete it. I spent a lot of effort trying to research on this star. PLZZZ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeGamingCuber (talk • contribs) 21:45, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete At this point in time there just isn't enough info to meet WP:GNG or the more specific WP:NASTCRIT. If this changes in the future the article can always be recreated. MarnetteD|Talk 22:24, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete although mentioned in quite a few publications, it is only a mention along with other stars. There seems to be nothing just written on this star. If there is any good reason to ahve this star article, I am not seeing it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:24, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

- Comment Specific research published on this star includes van Genderen 1999 (named as R 116 = RMC 116). It is considered to be a confirmed Luminous Blue Variable and most research has been published as part of general studies into some or all LBVs (eg. Davies 2005). van Genderen 2001 probably gives the most complete data on the star, although it is currently quiescent and its properties in outburst are not well known. To say "little is known" is not entirely true, but it certainly isn't one of the better-studied LBVs. It is currently linked from the Luminous blue variable and Hypergiant pages, where it is listed as a member of each of those small classes of star. Lithopsian (talk) 12:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
