This is similar to a previous discussion about minor planet names with only the numeration, intsead of the complete name. In short, this redirect is unhelpful, ambigous, and unrelated to 229762 Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà. I believe that no one will be normally searching to 229762 Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà by just typing the numeration. Although the minor planet's name is very difficult to type, there are still more plausible, natural and simple redirects, such as the provisional designatiom 2007 UK126.

:Keep per e.g. 99942, 136199, 486958. The redirects in the previous discussion were smaller numbers with only four digits; they could also refer to e.g. years. SevenSpheres (talk) 23:12, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
:Keep, for numbers that large it is unlikely that someone would type the same number as a large/well-known minor planet and be looking for something else. Also, someone having only encountered the current designation 229762 Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà will be most likely to search it by its number, as it can be typed on a standard keyboard and doesn't require additional knowledge of a former provisional designation.

:Keep per above. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 16:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Question Can minor planets be referred to by the number alone? It's common for the number part of the minor-planet designation to be dropped, but I'm not sure I've seen the opposite. -- Tavix (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
:keep for sorta kinda the same reason as 177013 (check at your own risk, it's nsfw as hell). the number is a little too specific to be reasonably used anywhere else, so i don't see any harm cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:29, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per most of the reasoning above. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:38, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: considering how difficult to type the name Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is and the fact that this number is not ambiguous with anything else with an article, this is worth keeping. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 15:57, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
