274301 Wikipedia
[edit]... that an asteroid was recently named after Wikipedia?

- Created on January 31. Text is fine, with appropriate sources, and so is the infobox and its data. Hook is short and simple. My only concern is length; text is 1632 bytes, but it includes 319 bytes of text incorporated from external sources (the official citation for the asteroid), so novel text is only 1313 bytes. Perhaps expanding the article by the extra 187 bytes to push it over 1500 should be considered. For example, did the nominator state a reason for submitting 'Wikipedia' as the name of the asteroid?

- I think "in a location" is redundant and should be trimmed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:22, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
