Correct identification of this object[edit]
The correct identification of some NGC objects is difficult due to errors and misunderstandings of the original observer and of the astronomers that, during time, made and re-analysed the data.
Use the information of different sources, NGC 4171 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 4170, NGC 4171 and NGC 4173 are different objects: two stars and one galaxy, respectively (see also these two discussions for other informations)!

| NGC/IC project in VizieR (Q1662358) | UGC 7204 | [1] | right identification |
| NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) | UGC 7204 | [2] | right identification |
| Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) | UGC 7204 | [3] | right identification |
| SIMBAD (Q654724) | UGC 7204, NGC 4170,NGC 4171 | [4] | right identification, but wrong assignment to NGC 4170 and NGC 4171! |
