[edit] The Name

I've done the reasearch. The Great Barred Spiral Galaxy is the official name for NGC 1365. — Hurricane Devon (Talk) Image:Euro symbol.png 18:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

It is NOT!--Jyril 13:26, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
When i said (I've done the reasearch.) I ment I got this info from my books. Two of my astronomy books clearly state that NGC 1365 is called the Great Barred Spiral. This or my books are not right. I copyed the page from my books to show you.
  • [1] This book is called Astronomy A visual Guide. By Mark A. Garlick.
  • [2] This book is National Geographic Encyclopedia of Space. By Linda K. Glover (with Andrew Ghaikin, Patricia S. Daniels, Andrea Gianopoulos, & Jonathan T. Malay. Foreward by Buzz Aldrin).
If this dosn't convince you NGC 1365 is called Great Barred Spiral, then I give up. — Hurricane Devon (Talk) Image:Euro symbol.png 21:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, it doesn't. ;) These books are hardly scientific, even though Mark Garlick is a professional astronomer. Plus, the article name = the most used name -policy holds. But I don't mind mentioning the name in the article.--Jyril 21:14, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

[creating discussion section, didn't look up template for it Gene Nygaard 17:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)]

  • Oppose. Keep the current name; redirect from proposed name already exists. No sufficient reason given, usage in galaxy article is not particularly relevant factor. Gene Nygaard 17:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT change the name to the real name. It is just a catalogue entry after all 132.205.45.110 19:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT - I an an amateur astronomer and I can say that people usuusaly just call it by it's catalog name. Many DSO have same kind of a name (and sometimes 2 or 3 names), but just a small part of these names are widely accepted. So, I believe that only widely accepted names, as Andromeda galaxy should be use instead of catalog numbers. --Ante Perkovic 12:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
