List of stars in the Hipparcos Catalogue[edit]

Hipparcos mapped millions of stars. The initial catalogue of 1997 included 118,200 stars. This list of 8 stars in Andromeda makes no sense at all. Uncited, unclear, non-notable. — JFG ^talk 19:40, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: the article was abandoned with only 8 stars in the list. The list is effectively pointless unless complete, and complete would be about 175,000 entries. Lithopsian (talk) 21:24, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No comment on the other arguments, but how are these "uncited" when the whole point of the list is "stars in the Hipparcos Catalogue", and they are even listed with their HIP numbers? That's obviously the citation. postdlf (talk) 21:43, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: if this list were complete, probably 97% of the entries would be red links. If somebody a full listing of the Hipparcos catalogue, they'd probably download it from VizieR instead. Loooke (talk)
