Extremely minor lunar crater of only 210 metres in diameter, was encountered by Apollo 17 astronauts but was not the subject of any special attention besides being named as a result of that. There does not appear to be any scientific studies on it that would cause it to pass WP:GNG, a search on Google Scholar only brought up results for the Mercurian crater of the same name, which is far more prominent.

- The crater's name is recognized by the International Astronomical Union (
IAU). That should make it notable. It is also briefly mentioned briefly in the
Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report. And in contrast to the Mercurian crater, humans have been there.

- WP:NASTRO specifically says that being named by the IAU does not confer notability. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 05:57, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- For further evidence, take Naturaliste, Jessica, Fejokoo etc. It is pretty clear that being named by the IAU isn't considered proof of notability. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 06:13, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to the
Taurus–Littrow article, where it is listed.
Possibly that list could be turned into a table to show the crater diameters.Praemonitus ( talk) 16:47, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm not opposed to a redirect but it seems an unlikely search term with the added disambiguation.
