[edit] Hoax?

I don't think this is "Pantent nonsense," thus probably not speedible. It may well be a hoax; I am investigating. I'll report shortly. --TeaDrinker 20:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I have not yet been able to confirm the existence of this object. I can, however, confirm the existence of (a) an astronomer named "Jean Claude Merlin" [1], (b) the existence of a publication called teh minor planet circular [2], and (c) the informaiton in the header about the Smithsonian's relation to the minor planet center, etc. [3]. My view at this time is that the information is probably accurate, however possibly a copyvio from the minor planet circular. I have not yet obtained a copy of the publication to verify it (it is a subscription service). In the interim, I have removed the material likely to be copyrightted, since the text claims it as the source. --TeaDrinker 20:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
