Fails GNG: The eclipse only occurred in the sea near Antarctica, and it is unlikely that anyone saw the eclipse at that time. Likewise, history does not record this eclipse, and this eclipse has no scientific value. Therefore, this eclipse is not of notability, and therefore the references in the entry do not prove notability, i.e., they do not constitute a valid introduction.

• Delete as completely lacking coverage in reliable sources, as far as I can tell. Rubbish computer (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 14:26, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wikipedia is not an astronomical database; and as can be seen solar eclipses happen frequently. The only source for this is an all-inclusive catalogue, which is well short of the WP:GNG required. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:46, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
