Just a little thing, I feel like the Tintin inaccuracy mention is kind of irrelevant for this? The asteroid wasn't named Adonis until many years after the book was published, so saying its inaccurate doesn't really provide anything, I'd recommend that this at least be clarified.

Some things just grow during incremental edits and sometimes get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, has grown to an astounding 17 to 27 entries in these articles. Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a forth.
The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • ELMIN: Minimize the number of links. --
  • ELCITE: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
External links This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.
Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.
    • Please note:
  • WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.

These links are commonly associated with List of minor planets:

  • Hazards due to Comets and Asteroids (1994) is not subject specific. It could be valid in the future with a section dedicated to the subject.
  • Asteroid Lightcurve Database (LCDB) is a query form and the link returns "Server Error 404 Page Not Found".
  • Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, Google books is a dictionary title page promotionally offering the sale of the book "Dictionary of Minor Planet Names" for $88.00.
  • Asteroids and comets rotation curves, CdR is not subject specific.
  • Each of the bold links below provide a total and excessive 23 links.
