 * Keep. Neither the current state of the article, nor appearing twice on television are reasons to delete or keep. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Although this article definitely needs improvement, the subject surpasses General Notability Guidelines. His adventures have received significant coverage from multiple independent, reliable sources over a period of time.         These are just a handful of news sources covering his journeys, and they don't even include his reality show appearances or potential reviews of his book. McLeod is also currently executive director of the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum. In short, ample sources exist for composing a neutral, well-written, policy-compliant article, even if it's only a few paragraphs. --Animalparty! (talk) 05:34, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
