The sources in the article only include brief mentions of the subject, and I can't find other sources providing significant coverage, so this seems to fail the notability guideline for biographies.

 * Delete. I found him named in various sources about the Gemini series, but that's all. Like the references provided here - just a name listed among many. I'll keep an eye on this if some great resources are found, but I'm not hopeful. Lamona (talk) 03:39, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I went through and created sections for the article since it was hard to read as a single paragraph. I'm very open to some newly discovered sources, but the page top has a suggestion that the author can add videos of the subject, etc. - those will not provide notability. Nor will interviews. What is needed is at least one longish article about him in a magazine or newspaper. Sometimes a local paper is a good source. Lamona (talk) 03:54, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The videos could provide notability just as articles depending on the prominence of his role in the video and who published it.--PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 13:32, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * PiccklePiclePikel, notability must be established by independent, third-party sources. If a video is, say, a news story or documentary, then it could indicate notability.

He would have to be featured prominently, just as he would have to have prominence in a print source. Lamona (talk) 23:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
