Notability

My "notability" and "single source" tags were deleted, but I still think that there are issues with this entry. He has Google hits, sure, but the majority of them seem to be from various pages on NASA's site.

The whole second paragraph is a problem, for a few reasons. First, it doesn't mention Feldman, who is supposed to be the subject of this entry; second, parts of it are written in the first person; and third, it sounds like advocacy and may be POV. Even if not POV, I'm not sure why this info needs to be in this biography, instead of maybe in the SeaWiFS entry.

Also, I'd like to gently suggest that the subject of this entry should probably not be the only person deciding whether or not said subject is notable. This is an autobiography at the moment. I'd also like to point out that I'm not necessarily saying that Feldman isn't notable, just that the article right now doesn't demonstrate notability. Anyway, I'm just trying to generate a discussion. Any thoughts? Dawn Bard (talk) 17:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely and voiced concerns that second para is very 'essay like' on author's talk page. Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 17:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the "notability" tag, because I think it's legit. This article doesn't address Feldman's notability at all. I still don't think there's anything here that couldn't just go in the SeaWiFS entry. Dawn Bard (talk) 17:48, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
