message: Searching Google Scholar, I saw that the proper name Alderamin is much more used than Alpha Cephei. Searching "Alpha Cephei", I found 7 sources citing it in the first five pages. Meanwhile, I found 19 sources citing the name Alderamin in the first five pages, 2.79 times more. This would mean that Alderamin is the common name for this star, and should be the name of the article.

replies: text: Alpha Cephei →  – Searching Google Scholar, i saw that the proper name Alderamin is much more used than the Bayer Designation Alpha Cephei. In the first five search pages, i got 19 sources citing the name Alderamin, while i got just 7 sources citing the name Alpha Cephei, which means that Alderamin is the common name for this star, and thus should be the name of this article.

replies: text: Notice that I used quotes in the ADS search, which prevents exactly the issue you suggest. Google Scholar is far less useful for astronomy than ADS is. Otherwise, that's a huge wall of badly formatted text that doesn't actually address the issue: the Bayer designation is more widely used in the astronomical literature.

replies: text: If you want papers that are specifically about that star (rather than just mention it), ADS finds 24 hits (16 refereed) with the Bayer designation in their abstract or title, vs only 6 (3 refereed) for Alderamin. Modest Genius talk 19:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
