– This "AB" format is sometimes used in sources to indicate that these are binary systems, but I don't think it's necessary in Wikipedia article titles. PHL 5038 was also created with "AB" in the title but I already moved it. SevenSpheres (talk) 18:36, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment all the proposed and current titles are incorrect. They suffer from English-dash-disease. They should not be using any endashes (–), instead they should all be using the arithmetic minus sign (−), since they are all named based on celestial coordinates that use declination and right ascension. As so, that separator between the two numbers can only be a arithmetic plus (+) or arithmetic minus (–) sign, since the value is either positive or negative. Autocorrecting grammar software is destroying knowledge. -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 04:06, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Oppose~~ unless the nomination is corrected to use the arithmetic minus sign -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 04:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Withdrawn as the nomination was updated with the correct typographic symbol -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 21:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done, I think. I'm not really sure why the ordinary ASCII hyphen-minus isn't used in these titles. SevenSpheres (talk) 14:03, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone will come along and automove all of them to N-Dashes again, as has happened repeeatedly for anything using hyphen-minus. Unless it really is a hyphen, a more specific character is needed for it not to be moved to endash by some grammarian editor, who doesn't know that minus signs exist in astronomy topic names. -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 21:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

support because the "AB" in titles is redundant. We don't have Alpha Centauri AB, intsead we have Alpha Centauri. We don't have Gliese 65 AB, intsead we have Gliese 65. We don't have Antares AB, intsead we have Antares. Describing binary astronomical objects is a function of the short description, not the title.
