 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Describes the subject's association with a single newsworthy event, thus fails WP:BLP1E and WP:NOT. If article survives the AfD process, it has substantial issues with WP:NPOV, as most of it was written by the subject himself and reads like a press release.

 * Keep. I fixed it, which involved some savage cutting.  I don't think this is a BLP1E or NOT#NEWS issue because this is a man who's notable for one moderately impressive accomplishment.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  20:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete The first person to fly around the world in a plane like his was notable; the first Iranian-born (or whatever country] person is not. DGG (talk) 02:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable achievement per DGG. Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:20, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a non notable WP:ONEEVENT. As pointed out - being the first person is probably notable enough to build an article on - being the first of a subset is worth a mention if there is other notability. Nuttah (talk) 11:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
