 * I think keep given an asteroid was named after her. It’s also a significant position in NASA. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 14:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per nom and WP:RS. --BonkHindrance (talk) 16:37, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:BIO, with barely a few passing mentions here and there. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think she passes WP:BIO per criteria one. Having an asteroid named after her sounds like a significant honour. Clover moss  (talk) 00:00, 1 March 2020 (UTC) Note: I'm looking for signfigiant coverage about her in independent sources, but have not had much luck so far. This is a WP:BLP, so there should be high-quality refs. It's possible that coverage isn't online but offline, but I'm trying to avoid a "sources must exist" argument.

 * The criteria for naming an asteroid are pretty loose, so not a significant formal honor. E.g. 99942 Apophis is most likely named after the Stargate SG-1 villain, and 2309 Mr. Spock after the discover's cat, neither of which have articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:09, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Please see Talk:Pamela Jones (NASA). I suspect that one could vet these & come up with enough references for notability. Perhaps this article should be moved into the Draft namespace until the requisite number of citations are in the article. Peaceray (talk) 22:13, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
