Icelandic space exploration

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced student project. No indication of notability. Disputed prod. noq (talk) 13:37, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm waiting for a confirmation on this being the first man-made object sent into space by an Icelandic group of people for research purposes, i dont know about you.. but in context to the world this is a pretty daring step for Iceland, and to any civilization for that matter.

 * Rename This is not an article on the general topic of Icelandic space exploration, but on one event. Give sources that show that event is notable, should be fairly easy. Then rename the article to reflect what it's really about. Jaque Hammer (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment It may be a first for Icelandic students, and a valuable project - especially if it worked (I have doubts about the value of a cellphone at that distance...) - but it's hardly 'space exploration'. 32km is a bit below the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale line at 62 km (see Outer space, and the balloon couldn't have reached the astronautics level. If decent sources are found, it could make an article (with a bit more about the results - one hopes...), but under a different title. Peridon (talk) 16:18, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, but without prejudice against recreation with better sources, and under a different name. Most of the actual content in the page was a copyvio (which I've blanked, leaving the page even more useless than it was before...), and the rest is almost content-free, or could be easily reconstructed from sources. The subject may be worth an article; but that isn't it, and that isn't the right title. --ais523 17:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and recreate as an article about the specific balloon-spacecraft mentioned, if it proves to be notable according to reliable sources. Cullen328 (talk) 20:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, or as suggested by rename and rewrite an article about the specific balloon-spacecraft mentioned. Otherwise, waiting for an event to happen to see if its notable fails WP:Crystal ball.  He  iro  01:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article states that "Icelandic space exploration" has not occurred. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  09:53, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or rename if enough sources are found about the student project.  :  pep  per   10:48, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
