The subject does not satisfy general notability. His claim to fame is as a space tourist on a future space expedition, but see Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and other policies. There has been substantial independent coverage of the planned mission, but all of the coverage at this point is crystal balling.

  • Keep — An astronaut is notable once he has been selected for a space mission and in this precise case he is less than six months away from flight. Preparation for the flight and training of the crew is under way. His flight is indeed the next one to take off from the US. Hektor (talk) 22:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep GNG is met. WP:CRYSTAL does not apply, because the coverage is of the selection, rather than the actual flight. (Besides, the entire premise of that page is WP:V violations, which this clearly is not) He's been selected. NPR and NYT have covered it. Posting some fancy graph doesn't change any of that.

  • Keep Agree that WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply; coverage (and reality) goes beyond speculation. There will come a time that civilians selected for space missions will not be notable, but we are not near that point yet. --\/\/slack (talk) 14:52, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
