The galaxy has only been featured in databases and large scale surveys which don't provide significant commentary on the object, thus fails WP:NASTCRIT C messier (talk) 15:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: at that distance I suspect it's probably not going to get a serious study unless it is unusual in some way, and sure enough there are no significant studies on the object, although there are a few web sites. Being an active Seyfert 2 galaxy isn't enough to make it notable. I don't see a list page where it could be redirected. Praemonitus (talk) 20:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The IC is a supplement of the New General Catalogue, and is therefore of similar historical importance. Ships & Space_(Edits) 20:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't enough to establish notability. Not all NGC objects are notable, let alone IC objects. C messier (talk) 11:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are no references suggesting this galaxy is anything more than another catalog object in the sky. Not notable, per Wikipedia:Notability_(astronomical_objects)#Establishing_notability. I see the author has created a whole bunch of also non-notable articles: I'll request a mass delete for them. - Parejkoj (talk) 16:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
