CX CMa

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Its been tagged to death, but apparently abandoned by the original author. Much of the article is incomprehensible, or likely wrong. It is a faint eclipsing binary star, one of hundreds of the type, . It is not contained in the list of stars in Canis Major, or the template for stars of Canis Major, a big clue that this is not a notable object per WP:NASTRO. Simbad lists nine papers mentioning the star, an astonishingly low number. Even more astonishingly, four of them are about either this star or a small number of objects including this star. There was a flurry of interest in 1984 that the light curve of some eclipsing variables showed an interesting asymmetry, refuted a few years later.

I have edited the article, hopefully improving it in the process. As for the O'Connell effect that Lithopsian apparently means: I have not found a refutation of it, rather there is a variety of explanations for this observed phenomenon. It might be worth a separate article. Aside from that, I believe that the article "CX CMa" should be renamed into "CX Canis Majoris" in order to keep in line with other articles on stars. --Schlosser67 (talk) 09:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly if the article is kept, it should be renamed as suggested. The article is now a passable stub rather than a half-nonsense mash-up. Still not notable, though ;) Lithopsian (talk) 12:18, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: A final relist will hopefully bring further discussion to reach a consensus. — Music1201 ^talk 21:49, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: based upon three publications that include the object's name in their titles, it appears to just satisfy the WP:GNG. Praemonitus (talk) 15:48, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
