Chesley Sullenberger[edit]

WP:BLP1E. Should be a redirect to US Airways Flight 1549, but not an article on its own.

Then withdraw the deletion, merge any information, and redirect the article. No need for an AFD to do this. Bjelleklang - talk 14:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article has already been redirected and the redirect subsquently overturned by some overeager individual. No, unfortunately this needs an AfD. 78.34.145.54 (talk) 14:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep he meets the notability by having co-authored those papers. I think that as more comes out about him, there will be more notability for him. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 14:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect as notability has not been established outside the US Airways Flight 1549 article. Thanks, SqueakBox 14:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC) Keep based on snowball effect and new arguments. Thanks, SqueakBox 14:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I believe that the academic and professional work in accident investigation are notable. The crash certainly enhances this, but I believe notability was established before that. --Daysleeper47 (talk) 14:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
keep His notability existed prior to the recent event for expertise in aviation safety.Synchronism (talk) 14:26, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Daysleeper. -- Sozi (talk) 14:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: He has some important events and accomplishments to his name, even other than the US Airways Flight 1549 incident. I think this article should be included. Chamal ^talk 14:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Mr Sullenberger has now become an historical aviator - the first pilot to successfully ditch a large commercial aircraft with no fatalities. A place in history should equate to one's own wiki page. --Space cadet65 (talk) 14:43, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok then, but at least now we know. Withdraw AfD. 78.34.128.236 (talk) 14:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and snowball it- the guy's notable enough for his own article. Umbralcorax (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have already withdrawn my AfD nom. 78.34.128.236 (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sorry. Didn't mean to seem like I was piling on. Umbralcorax (talk) 15:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
