List of Mars trojansMars trojan – The other classes of trojans have full articles about them, not just a list. I don't see why this one would have to be any different. --JorisvS (talk) 20:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC) JorisvS (talk) 20:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Support: it's already more than a list.

  • Move to Mars trojan asteroids. "Trojan" has other meanings. Put the word "asteroid" in the name for clarity. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:23, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. You think that any of those can be combined with the name of a planet and still make sense? There is no ambiguity when "asteroid" is left out. --JorisvS (talk) 14:02, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Already more than a list, topic deserves an article. No actual ambiguity exists. —innotata 16:18, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move as proposed. Mars trojan is the common name and there is no need to disambiguate, and yes this is already a good short article, more than a list. Andrewa (talk)

Can you please consider adding to the list 2015 TL144, one of two objects I mentioned on a Minor Planet Mailing List post on 16 April 2023. At that time it was observed over 2 oppositions, now 4. A 1 million year integration with neaplot3d showed trojan behaviour. The other object I mentioned, 2016 AA165, was added to the list and is also good after a 1 million year integration. Would also be worth adding a change to the wording somehow. 9 of these are confirmed on the Minor Planet Center pages. The rest are all still candidates, even though I and others have done many simulations!! Andrew Walker 2001:8003:1C27:EB00:A15B:275E:CB7B:733D (talk) 09:39, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
