Mars One (U.S.)

A list of candidates at this early stage of the programme is simply not notable. Mars One is nowhere near ready to fly - if it ever does - and this is not the final list of people who will fly on it just people who have got to the next stage of the application process. W. D.

Delete This isn't encyclopedic content. It's a potentially very long list of non-notable people with no analysis or other value. Even if the people are mentioned in the news, and some of them (mainly the young and pretty) have detailed coverage in their local area press, it's just a story of the day/week. If some get long-term coverage of their applications, when the numbers are whittled down, we can reconsider and start covering the more notable people. But right now they're just wannabe reality show contestants. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:36, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-encyclopedic and does not meet general notability criteria. At most, a summary of how many candidates are from the US might be mentioned in the main Mars One article. These folks are not separately notable, nor is a list of them notable. N2e (talk) 17:16, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for the reasons mentioned above. Wild8oar (talk) 17:28, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Mars One. Nothing on this page is notable on its own. Redirect per WP:CHEAP and to preserve AfD result so that future editors don't recreate. Ivanvector (talk) 18:27, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article content is not about any notable people. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a self-popularization platform. There are around 300 applicants from the US selected for Round 2 of Mars One. All of them obviously can not, and should not, be listed in an encyclopedia, just for this achievement. Rounds 3 and 4 are still left. The final 40 or so candidates selected (from all over the world) at the end of Round 4, should be listed. And that information will be available in 2015 or later.--Sarthak Sharma (talk) 19:21, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
