InSight Mission

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Probable hoax article; references all dead links, no Google results except the article itself and another Wikipedia article which has been edited since it was created.  G W … 22:00, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment . I am uncertain that this is a hoax.  I'm not sure what the deal is with the JPL pages, but all of the content of this article matches the Geophysical Monitoring Station (GEMS) project that was one of the Discovery Program finalists (the others are TiME and CHopper).  I can't find a link substantiating that GEMS had a name change, but I wouldn't consider that out of the question either.  It may very well be that the mission's JPL site is currently down; in any case, if this is a renamed GEMS, there's no shortage of other sources available.

 * Keep. Appears the problems with insight.jpl.nasa.gov were, in fact, temporary.  This is the renamed GEMS proposed mission, and so is most certainly not a hoax.  Plenty of other sources are available under the previous name, as that is the one that was used up to and including the Discovery Program finalists' announcement.

 * Withdrawn, now sufficient evidence has been presented that this is not a hoax. The article does need significant cleanup work though. -- G W … 09:34, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
