This is a procedural nomination. The article was tagged for notability concerns by this nominator. It was immediately PROD'd, then changed to a redirect. The redirect was reverted back to the original form with no tags with the statement "notability disputes about named asteroids are SO 2008". More Wikipedia goofiness to be sure. I've attempted to find sufficient sources but concluded that this asteroid does not currently satisfy the notability recommendations listed at WP:NASTRO. Hence, my preference is a redirect. I'm posting here for discussion because of the removal of the PROD and the notability tags. If somebody wanted to write an article about the French optician and amateur astronomer Didier Silly,[1] it could be mentioned there. But I suspect he would be just as non-notable.

Restore redirect. "Notability disputes about named asteroids..." are referred to WP:NASTRO, which clearly says this object is utterly non-notable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Restore redirect. Made a good-faith effort to find supporting material, and came up empty handed regarding the kind of sourcing required by WP:NASTRO. AstroCog (talk) 03:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
