Philippine Nebula
- Philippine Nebula (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
The article is about a non-notable dust cloud in a nebula. Even if the dust cloud is notable, it is difficult to identify what it is. This object's name is a
neologism that was made up at this internet discussion board. The SIMBAD Astronomical Database and ADS Abstract Service produce no results for a search on "Philippine Nebula". The page has no useful references or information. Even turning it into a redirect for NGC 2264 would be a bad idea, as the name is not in widespread use. This should be deleted outright.

- Delete - neologism, non-notable and not an official name. If you remove references to Wikipedia and Enrico Africa (who seems to be the "discoverer") then there are no meaningful ghits. andy 15:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Going to have to concur with the above, there are no references given with the exception of links to forums/blogs which are clearly not reliable sources. ]
- Delete - Non notable nebula, and unreliable sources. --TV-VCR watch 06:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - There has clearly never yet been a need for a name for this thing, and we shouldn't try to cast around for one. Chrislintott 12:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Okay, I'm from the Philippines, and this vote might be deemed "anti-patriotic" if you want to put it that way, but I can't remember having heard of this so-called "Philippine nebula". If this was an official name for a nebula, this is something that every student in the Philippines should have been aware of. So, I'll have to agree, it isn't something that I might consider serious and official. --- Tito Pao 06:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The International Astronomical Union names these things and it obviously hasn't rung their bell. andy 06:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
