People in Space
- ... that there are fourteen People in space, a record?
- ALT1:... that the record of fourteen People in space occurred in September 2021?
- Reviewed: I have less that 5 submitted DYKs, so not required.
- Comment: If able to be posted during the Inspiration4 mission, and before Shenzhou 12 lands then the primary hook can be used. Otherwise, ALT1 will be required.

Hi! JoltColaOfEvil, I do not think the article is ready for DYK. You have mentioned wrong name in the template People in Space. Kindly resolve the Notability issue of the subject. And you should provide a reference to the hook also. Thanks RV (talk) 03:27, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- @JoltColaOfEvil: In addition to the notability issue, the article is also too short at 539 bytes of prose. DYK requires a minimum of 1,500 characters (see WP:DYKCN), so it will have to be expanded considerably to qualify. On the plus side, as you work on expanding it you may find more sources to satisfy notability. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:04, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- I have provided further references, and expanded the text. Is this sufficient? JoltColaOfEvil (talk) 00:48, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment article is at 929 prose characters, short of the requirement of 1500. Also, this article would probably pass notability guidelines fine if it were called "List of people in space". theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 03:49, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Could we just do that then, move to "List of people in Space"? JoltColaOfEvil (talk) 04:13, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Possibly—there still would be notability questions, given the multitude of other lists on space travellers. I would recommend finding more reliable secondary sources first. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:44, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- A lot of records are collected at List of spaceflight records. I left a note at its talk page. – Reidgreg (talk) 02:01, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

- JoltColaOfEvil, if you do, it has to be "space" (lower case) as it’s not a proper noun; Wikipedia uses sentence case. Schwede66 01:55, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- JoltColaOfEvil, There are no apparent attempts to improve the article. It's acceptable; take your time. However, you risk losing your chance of DYK approval. Thanks RV (talk) 11:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

- Other than completing the suggested move to "List of people in space" above, I don't have anything else to contribute. If that's insufficient, then I guess that's it. JoltColaOfEvil (talk) 03:38, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
A week after having been nominated, the article is still significantly too short to meet DYK minimum prose requirements. Time to reject this. Schwede66 16:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
