Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/12088 Macalintal
Meets . {{tq|That the rock was named after a student is irrelevant.}} would be correct if that was just it, and not picked up by sources. But this naming (and thus the asteroid) are covered in multiple RS (e.g. http://www.newsflash.org/2004/02/si/si002328.htm, http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20070413-60227/Asteroid_named_after_RP_scientist_Kintanar_ (go to the end of the article to see Macalintal cited). As such this object has a better-than-standard claim to notability, and being covered in news sources passes our general notability guideline
