  • I am not sure this image has sufficient EV in either article listed above. There is no textual reference to this image (i.e. this version, or medieval Islamic era) in the Ursa Minor article. In the Polaris article, there is a brief referring paragraph next to this image. I am not sure that's enough though. Bammesk (talk) 02:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
