Σ Eridani → HD 17943 – This isn't the standard title format for Bayer designations (should be "Sigma Eridani"), but in any case a quick search finds this (full text) which says that Sigma Eridani is not a correct designation for this star, and in fact doesn't exist. This designation doesn't appear in SIMBAD, either. SevenSpheres (talk) 20:40, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, this Bayer designation has never been used, and it also does not appear in software for viewing the sky, such as Stellarium. In the Table of stars with Bayer designations the designation Sigma Eridani is also empty. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 23:08, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- That was from List of stars in Eridanus, even referenced. 1.36.119.220 (talk) 23:59, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- And the article I linked above says that reference is incorrect. SevenSpheres (talk) 00:04, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Move to Sigma Eridani, in accordance with other stars with Bayer designations. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 18:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
