Manned mission to Venus

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

really not notable - nominated for PROD but deleted on spurious unsourced grounds. The article it self says that no credible proposals for it happening are known. An equally valid entry could be made for manned mission to mongo noq (talk) 23:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. User:Her Imperial Highness removed the PROD tag with the reasoning:I object to the deletion: I remember a conversation with the Swiss ambassador about a planned Venus trip by the then Soviet Union....but didn't back that claim up with any sources. I also wonder if her wanting to retain the article is because of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS (i.e. Manned mission to Mars, which is well-sourced). THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 23:57, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete If there was anything sourced it could be added to the Venus article. But I'm not seeing anything worth including. Maybe the BBC show as trivia? ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. The only serious discussion of such a mission is fully covered in Manned Venus Flyby. Sci-fi stories and computer games are not an adequate basis for a speculative article. andy (talk) 08:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep- I was referring to a personal conversation with the Swiss ambassador. The Soviet Union had planned a mission and I suspect the People's Republic of China may plan a mission in the future. Her Imperial Highness (talk) 19:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The Swiss ambassador to where? If not the Moon then he or she can't really be seen as a reliable source! In any case the Soviet Union did plan a mission which is fully covered in TMK. The PRC may plan a mission to anywhere it likes but it hasn't got round to Venus yet AFAIK. More importantly neither the Apollo or TMK mission plans was for a landing, which would require technology that is even nowadays many decades away from being feasible and would have been lunacy in the 1970s. The article which is the subject of this AfD is an unreferenced, unverifiable fantasy (a bit like the Swiss personage's pronouncements). andy (talk) 20:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
