Per WP:NOTDICT, likely fails WP:GNG as well. A significant portion of the article's content is unsourced and likely WP:OR and is of minimal encyclopedic value; the remaining content could easily be merged into the primary Venus article as a brief section about nomenclature.

delete, it's quite a pretty article, but ArkHyena is right; all but one of the sources is a dictionary (not a great sign). The bits that are less dictionary-like are, unfortunately, written in the tone of a lecturer giving a light afternoon public talk, and unsourced (e.g. "...was felt to be unfortunately similar to "aphrodisiac", again evoking sex rather than astronomy"... was felt by whom? where did this come from?).
