"Is a NASA astronaut" may be a claim to notability but it's not much of an article. seems to violate WP:NOT a directory. Guy (Help!) 07:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Clearly notable with potential to expand. The length of an article is not a criteria for deletion unless expansion is unlikely, in which case merging may be appropriate. 08:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep It's expanded now. If Astronauts aren't notable there's something wrong with Wikipedia's guidelines. Nick mallory 08:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep As per Nick Mallory above, if "Astronaut" doesn't automatically confer notability the problem is with the guideline, not the article - iridescenti (talk to me!) 08:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not to dogpile, but this article, rightly, has been expanded. Astronaut stubs are unquestionably examples of the ability of stubs to grow, not of topics warranting deletion. Serpent's Choice 08:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Further expanded and re-formatted. She has also been involved in the deep-sea NEEMO project. Move to speedily close if Guy does not object? Serpent's Choice 09:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep I see the article has been substantially expanded, but even then, since when has "not much of an article" been a reason for deletion? There was a clear possibility of expansion, given the notability of the subject. --Canley 08:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOT#Info, and not a directory either. Content is required. Guy (Help!) 10:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep Please refrain from such frivolous nominations. Waste of time. Subject is notable, an astronaut who has just been assigned to her first mission in space, STS-124. I think by the way that being an astronaut makes you notable. Hektor 09:13, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
