The Siamrath article, based on a NARIT Facebook post, was the only news source I could identify that mentions the asteroid names together. Even with the mention of the stars and exoplanets, which I've added, it still seems quite tenuous for a standalone list. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:16, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

I did find another piece of more systematic coverage from the IOAA 2017 newsletter. It's not a major work, but it is written by experts in the field, so should be reliable enough. Might just be borderline passable now. Better discuss this at AfD. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Buidhe: IMO, such lists are notable. It was not very hard for me to find such lists in the media:

Three moon craters named after Chinese scientists - http://www.china.org.cn/china/2010-09/20/content_20976545.htm
Czech names on the opposite side of the moon - http://www.ian.cz/detart_fr.php?id=1334
Craters on the moon named after famous Hungarians - https://mtklub.blog.hu/2007/01/19/hires_magyarokrol_elnevezett_kraterek_a_holdon
Why are so many craters on the moon named after Jesuits? - https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2019/07/12/why-are-so-many-craters-moon-named-after-jesuits

It's not really easy to find English news about, say Korean names in space. Yet the national media of many countries actually create such lists. Which satisfies the criteria One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.

No doubt, it is a significant matter of pride for Hungary for example to publicize the Hungarian names in space and the same applies for many other countries. I would say, the smaller the country, the bigger the pride. It would be truly boring for Americans to read a list with a gazillion American names on the sky. Yet for the people in a country like say Nepal, a list with Nepales names on the sky would sound very interesting.

IMO, if a list of Chinese names on the sky is notable, then a list of Thai names is also notable. Avram25 (talk) 12:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

This article actually lists features in space named after things in Thailand. Avram25 (talk) 13:41, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
