Doesn't meet WP:NASTRO or WP:GNG. Should be deleted; or redirected per NASTRO to List of minor planets: 1001-2000. Boleyn (talk) 06:56, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. I was excited to see a hit for it in a paper about earth-grazers [1] but it turned out to be spurious and the reference that actually mentioned it was just about names of asteroids (a topic that is too unselective to contribute to notability — if an asteroid were notable only for its name then it should be mentioned only in the article about whoever it is named after, in this case Domingo Faustino Sarmiento). The only actual astronomical study I found was a 25-asteroid lightcurve study [2], not enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:51, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking, but this guys is definitely just an inner (main-belt asteroid) MBA. -- Kheider (talk) 18:52, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
