PG 1047+003 → UY Sextantis – According to WP:STARNAMES, for stars that have no Bayer or Flamsteed designations, the Henry Draper Catalogue (HD) number, variable-star designation or the Gliese number should be used for the article name about the star. As PG 1047+003 has no HD number or Gliese number, the variable-star designation UY Sextantis should be used. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 16:42, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Weak support While the variable star designation is less common overall based on an ADS search, it's simpler and seems to be preferred by newer sources. SevenSpheres (talk) 17:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

PG 1047+003 → UY Sextantis – According to WP:STARNAMES, for stars without proper names, Bayer designations, Flamsteed designations, Gliese Catalog designations or HD numbers (the case of this star), variable-star designations are prefered over other designations. This is similar with V1400 Centauri, where the name isn't the common name, but satisfies this guideline and has the advantage of being a simpler designation. 21 Andromedae (talk) 21:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
