User:ST11/CarloscomB cleanup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CarloscomB (talk · contribs) was a user who created many astronomy stubs in 2008. However, many of them were of low quality, with multiple formatting issues and too often too many inaccuracies. Therefore, it is unfortunately necessary to go through all his articles and check the values in their infoboxes, make them have readable prose, and remove any advertising/unnecessary external links. This page exists to track the progress of the cleanup on all his articles.

Instructions:

  1. Check the article. If it has been significantly edited since his edits, mark it with an {{already done}} label, so that it is marked as low-priority on the list to check. These articles will all be checked at the end, but are not of the highest importance.
  2. If not, but the article meets our notability guidelines, make sure it is at the correct title. This can be done by checking SIMBAD and Google Scholar for what name is used the most, and if none are used more often than others, defaulting to our naming conventions. Either move it yourself if you don't think it will be controversial, or start a requested move if you think it may be.
  3. If the article meets our notability guideline and is salvageable, then check the values in the infobox against SIMBAD and AAVSO to make sure that they are accurate. If not, or they cannot be verified, comment them out or change them to the correct values. After this is done, make sure that the article contains readable prose, instead of just something like: "XYZ is star in double system". Once this is done, mark it with a {{done}} label.
  4. If the article is unsalvageable or fails to meet our notability guidelines, then it has to go. Use the proposed deletion or articles for deletion processes to nominate it for deletion. Once it is deleted, mark it with a {{not done}} label. If it only needs to be redirected or merged instead, mark it with a {{partly done}} label.
