Another reason to revive the "Stellar types" vs "Stars" debate.

I would prefer to put these named stars under a "Stars" concept directly, and avoid an "Individual stars" concept.

We should avoid listing individual stars by name in the UAT. Authors have other services that resolve names and provide a means for tagging specific objects.
