  V4444 Sgr (Nova Sgr 1999) has been recently suggested to be a possible
recurrent nova based on the detection of the preexisting dust, which may have
been formed in a previous outburst. We examined this possibility using the
available outburst observations, including the VSNET observations. We also
noticed that this nova was recorded in the OGLE II public photometric database,
which covered both preoutburst and late decline phases. The outburst light
curve constructed from these observations showed a plateau phase, particularly
in the OGLE II I-band light curve, which was followed by a more rapid decline.
The light curve resembled those of "fast" recurrent novae and candidates in the
presence of the distinct plateau phase. The outburst spectrum and the
preoutburst magnitude more resembled those of classical novae, but they do not
exclude the possibility of a recurrent nova.
