Fictional term. Might belong in wiktionary but it fails at being an encyclopedic article due to failures of WP:GNG. Sure, it is used in a number of works, but outside making a "list of books and other media that use the term astrogator" there is is little to work with, and such a list would fail WP:LISTN anyway. I am not sure if there is any valid redirect target (Interstellar travel#In fiction?) _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:35, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge An astrogator does not necessarily involve interstellar travel, but Technology in science fiction#Spaceflight could be an adequate merge target. That article needs some heavy cleanup._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:02, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to navigator as a better(?) fit than the other two redirect targets suggested. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, that is better. I have created a section at Navigator#In science fiction as a merge target that can be used._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 12:06, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - Currently just a dictionary term without analysis. Redirecting to the above seems fine. TTN (talk) 12:41, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Navigator#In science fiction sounds fine. – sgeureka ^t•c 13:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Navigator#In science fiction - although I remember reading those stories in Campbell's anthologies which were later published by the SFBC. And Starman Jones sits on my nightstand, don't know how many times I've re-read that. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:11, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
