Do listed NGC objects require their own page?

Do listed NGC objects require their own page? Do they require independent notability?

WP:NASTRO says they do require independent notability to have their own article. It doesn't seem to me to be worth including items in this list that don't have articles; then we're just duplicating the boring parts of the catalog. -- Beland (talk) 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The lists should include every object, boring or not, otherwise the list is incomplete. C messier (talk) 14:42, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If readers want a complete list, they can just look at one of the cited astronomical databases. It does seem if we're keeping non-notable objects off the list, maybe the title and definitely the intro should be changed to clarify that this is a list of notable NGC objects. That said, I don't have particularly strong feelings. Perhaps gathering a sampling of opinion from e.g. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy would be helpful. -- Beland (talk) 21:11, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind selection criteria should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources (WP:LISTCRITERIA). C messier (talk) 09:58, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
