If you can make a compelling write-up about it, go for it!
You know, that's an excellent question. I suppose you could scan them all (with the auto-scanner and the route plotter, it should be doable solo), then after uploading the data, wait a few days and look at the type-specific charts on EDAstro, see if a new clump has appeared.
However, looking at the relevant chart now, black hole density in the general area is high enough that I don't think there will be.
This can generally be determined by turning off everything except the body type you want, and then panning the galaxy map around. I've found "fields" of reported objects at the same distance above/below the plane as common features.
Name: Kepler's Fantasy
Type: Planetary
System: Byua Aoscs PJ-E B2
Planet: 1 (and moons)
Desc: "Take one large high-metal world with rings, add several rapidly orbiting moons, and you get these amazing views. Three tiny moons orbit just outside the ring system, with one pair of moons close enough to have the rings inside the exclusion zone of the moon - less than 500 km! Two other larger moons orbit slightly farther out, with moon 1 D at a high inclination. The orbits around the planet range from 12 hours down to a mere 3 hours, creating a rapidly changing view. Dramatic view changes can occur in as little as 15 minutes.
Planet 1 B is recommended for viewing. A 12-hour time lapse from that location is included below.

Name: Runner's Gorge
Type: Geological
System: Running Man Sector FW-W d1-8
Planet: 1
Coordinates: 35.8183, 81.2774
These fumaroles lie in a canyon which nestles the Running Man nebula when looking Southeast. The fumaroles are rich in Polonium, required for level III FSD boosts; so not only does the canyon provide an incredible view of the Runner of the stars, it can give your ship longer legs among them as well!

Name: Egestas Quinque Corporibus (Curse of the Five Bodies)
Type: Astronomical/Planetary
System: Running Man Sector WF-N B7-0
This system is composed of two binary pairs and a single orbiting star, which itself has five planets in its orbit. With the addition of the system's single moon and two additional planets, the total number of bodies in the system is an unlucky thirteen.

Just arrived there.

Not really notable system
Again, pink gg removed
I haven't come across a 5-star system before, so it's notable to me. If it is not notable, then it is at least novel for the reasons I include in the description. Anyways, I figure I'll submit away and leave it up to the admins what is and is not worthy.
Name: ? (Open to suggestions)
Type: Astronomical/Planetary
System: 2MASS J05350243-0520465
This system has 63 bodies, (way more than anywhere I've come across so far), 15 of them planets, featuring an MB, THMC and a TWW, and almost all of the planets and moons landable. Some feature Polonium and Yttrium, AKA level III Jumponium, so you could basically farm FSD boosts here all day.

At least TRY to pay attention to what's being posted. "Notable to me" isn't a valid reason to post here- that's why this thread has been spammed by completely non-interesting systems lately, and it just wastes the time of the admins.
Look at the systems that the admins have rejected. If your system is like those, don't bother submitting it.
Kepler's Paradise? THAT is an example of a notable system - systems with unusual orbital configurations, unique views etc. Not number of terraformable worlds, stars that are purple, 60 bodies, 7 stars, places where you can see a nebula over a mountain, or whatever.
Thanks for updating these; can you post the system name when you do? Sometimes reading the name from the image is hard.
Dude, this the 191st page of this thread. Forgive me for not reviewing the entire backlog of submissions and parsing through what has/has not been accepted. I'm quite new to the game and am excited about the things I'm finding in it, and that there's a place to share them that could result in my discoveries being recognized. If they're not worthy of your attention then I'm jealous of your extensive experience. If my posts here are so uninteresting and unworthy as to be a waste of the admin's time, then I'll leave it to the admins to tell me so. I'm always open to clear examples of how my entries are lacking, however, such as:
See? Helpful. Now I know not to submit the next plethora of bodies I find. Telling me what the heck Kepler's Paradise is would be helpful as well if it pertains to something I've submitted, thereby clarifying why it's not notable enough for inclusion here. In fact, doing so would save the admin's time as well, since it will help n00b's like me understand just what we're getting into and perhaps deleting our submissions so the admin's aren't bothered by them, which you claim they are. Again, though, I'll leave it to them to tell me if that's the case.
No prob. IWHAIND AA-A G1771
And we are coming back to the criteria isssue...
I stumbled upon half-discovered blue planetary. It has a usual two-sphere shape but about 3 times smaller than other such objects (plus has two binary WW inside). Is it noteworthy?
UPD: There are actually 3 such tiny nebulas nearby

Baxder, just as a note, "Kepler's Fantasy" was a submission made the Admin, directly above your entry on the page. As far as a "worthiness criteria" just imagine you had been told to go visit, because it was spectacular and had to be seen, one of the great and rare wonders of the solar system. How would you feel looking at it after having jumped 12,000 light years to visit. Would you feel like it was worth that much travel time, or would you just be like ".... I traveled all this way for this?"
If you would travel that far to go back and visit, just to see it again, then it's probably worth submitting.

Thank, Jeff. I agree and come to the point that every submission here is completely subjective based on the opinion and experience of the submitter. To use the language of the criteria on page one, a five star or 63 body system or one in which you can completely farm level 3 jumponium are "rare" in my experience, and "spectacular" is completely subjective by definition.
I do understand that the more I see, the less I will be willing to travel to a destination someone else submits, and I simply haven't seen much. Again, pardon me for being new. I will keep all that in mind going forward.
Apologies to malenfant. I did see Kepler's Fantasy, just didn't retain the name. Point taken.
