Talk:Gamma Leonis

Manzil?

What the heck is a Manzil? I'm guessing it's meant in the "Name origin and history" section in the sense of "lunar mansion", but I'm not sure I see the relevance and in any event it needs a link to give it context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ptorquemada (talk • contribs) 17:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Algieba → Gamma Leonis – This page was moved with the reasoning This seems like in an ADS search, Algieba got about three times more results than Gamma Leonis, which satisfies WP:STARNAMES. For some reason, simply searching ADS for "Algieba" returns over 100,000 results, which have nothing to do with the star. (Looks like it may be showing results for "algebra"?) If "object:Algieba" is added to the query, the number of results is in the single digits and less than for "Gamma Leonis"/"Gamma1 Leonis". So I don't think that can be used to argue that "Algieba" is more common. On the other hand there may be a shift toward preferring proper names of stars as article titles (see Talk:Kochab#Requested move 15 September 2025) so people may prefer this title anyway.

If Astronomical Editor is able to prove that Algieba is more commonly used than Gamma Leonis, i'd oppose the change. I made my own results and got 48 results for Algieba, but 89 for Gamma Leonis. 21 Andromedae (talk) 12:01, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
