The result was Rename to Zeferu K-570. The consensus is that the aircraft itself is more notable and the article should be renamed and restructured to reflect that. (non-admin closure) clpo13(talk) 22:29, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

This living person has attracted wide media attention. This is the reason I have declined the WP:A7. In my opinion, this article fails the test of WP:BLP1E, as Mr Zeferu has only "made the news" for his home-made aircraft. As always, please prove me wrong.

If he successfully flies his aeroplane in the future, he would be the world's first to do so. He apparently made it out of Youtube tutorials, which is quite amazing. Maybe this isn't enough, perhaps? I'd continue to search for sources. Mrkenjiex24 (talk)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. We need a global historical perspective here. The Zeferu K570A is to Northern Africa as all those pioneer aircraft were to Europe, which failed to fly between 1903 when the Wrights first took America into the air, and 1906 when Santos-Dumont did the same for Europe: failures like the Phillips Multiplane I and Vuia I. This article needs more work to add the aeroplane, is all. (And if the K570A does eventually fly, it will become as notable to North African history as the Santos-Dumont 14-bis is to Western European history.) &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, move and restructure to Zeferu K-570. The aircraft is what is most notable here; the constructor-pilot can be covered in the article on the aircraft itself. - The Bushranger One ping only 10:53, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. I voted above to keep. Move and restructure (per The Bushranger) would be OK, too. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:21, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
