Does not appear to meet notability guidelines for places. Article is at least 11 years old, and still has no sources. I attempted to find other external sources documenting its existence or notability, and could not. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!} 07:55, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It certainly exists. here is a real estate listing for it. I also found a bit of coverage here and here. Also this and this. It seems to be getting more coverage due to a partnership with SLOOH. Undecided if this is enough for Keep, but leaning that way. The article certainly needs improvement.

I can't work out if this is connected to the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Observatory Complex. If it is, then I would be leaning keep. SpinningSpark 15:00, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Embry Riddle's telescopes seem to not include the so called Prescott Observatory. [1] According to the only link provided in the article [2], the telescope sits on private land far away from the Embry Riddle campus. I also searched the Prescott local newspaper (The Daily Courier) and couldn't find anything on it. I would be a fan of merging it into Prescott, Arizona. Alternatively it could be included in the page of the astronomer who built it: Paul G. Comba. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!} 18:11, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's not much evidence of notability. I'd suggest a merge into Prescott, Arizona. Praemonitus (talk) 17:13, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I think this is a great nomination but upon reading User:MB's comment and sources am of the opinion User:Praemonitus's solution of a merge is the best option. It would make sense to merge it into Paul G. Comba. LikeMeercats (talk) 18:16, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Paul G. Comba. When I commented above, I did not realize that article existed. It already has a sentence on the observatory (this place is NOT part of Embry Riddle). I don't think it belongs in Prescott, Arizona because it would have undue weight there. The article on the builder is the perfect place. MB 19:09, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I support User:MB's proposition to Merge into Paul G. Comba based on his reasoning and have changed my above comment to reflect that. LikeMeercats (talk) 21:50, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LikeMeercats: please read WP:REDACT. Don't directly change your comments after others have responded to them. wumbolo ^^^ 21:48, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the builder's article seems okay. It would not be appropriate to merge to Prescott article, because as noted that would require putting undue coverage about this into that article about the city. Merging to the builder's article is not controversial, it doesn't really matter where the coverage sits and a redirect including edit history will be left behind. --Doncram (talk) 19:08, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Comba's article per everybody else. SpinningSpark 19:21, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
