Subject is not notable for planning an attempted circumnavigation. If he is successful, that will be notable, but until then, this is pretty much a crystal ball issue. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:32, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sounds like an interesting guy. That's doesn't make him notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Secondary coverage of this guy is between thin and nothing. I'd be cautious of applying crystal ballautomatically here, because the subject matter would probably 'be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred'. The problem is there's nothing strong enough to verify that the event will actually occur, which makes it unverifiable' speculation per crystal ball. Plus, there's nothing to suggest this person is notable as a person, so he fails WP:GNG. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:21, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
