Err, depends on how detailed the catalogue is - I've never looked at SDSS galaxy data, so I'm not sure, nor derivitive catalogues. Some "catalogy" datasets actually contain a reasonable amount of information with which to write a few sentences.
Of course. I'm assuming there aren't 2 million galaxies mentioned in detailed catalogues. I could be wrong though, I haven't actually looked at them. The number of galaxies we can non-substub articles on is presumably much smaller than the number of catalogued galaxies.
In the end, what's wrong with an article that contains the sum total of human knowledge on a subject, even if it's short, as long as it's verifiable and on a subject matter suitable for an encyclopaedia?
