The result was no consensus for Captain Trevor Jackson and Esperance Star with leave to speedy renominate. keep for Simon Mitchell. ( non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman ( talk) 23:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC) reply
I am nominating the articles Captain Trevor Jackson and Simon Mitchell for deletion; a pair of wreck divers, whose major "claim to fame" appears to be a dive on the shipwreck believed to be the hospital ship AHS Centaur but later proven (partly by these diver's efforts, but also through other, unrelated efforts) to be the lime freighter MV Kyogle. I am also nominating the article Esperance Star (Jackson's ship).
In all three cases, I can find no reliable, independent sources to support the information in these articles. I also feel that while their dive is relevant to the history of the hospital ship, the people involved do not warrant individual articles for this dive. Even combined with their other actions (as described by their articles) I do not feel that either person meets the Wikipedia:Notability (people) guideline or more specific notability guidelines (such as Wikipedia:Notability (academics) for Mitchell).
The main source cited for these articles is a Lulu-published book by Jackson; a book co-authored by Mitchell is also cited in his article. The other sources listed in these articles are either authored by Jackson, or related to Centaur and do not mention the divers by name, if at all. A Google News search (all dates) on either diver comes up with results for unrelated people ( Jackson, Mitchell). Adding the qualifier "diver" to each search string brings two results for Jackson (both interviews where he is an interviewee) and four for Mitchell (one as a consulted professional in an interview, two about an unrelated search for an engine in a lake, and the fourth behind a paywall but appearing to be a lay-summary of some medical research relating to diving). My searches of Google Books and Scholar bring up no relevant results in Jackson's case and some articles authored by Mitchell. Searches for sources on the ship come up with a couple of passing mentions in amongst the mostly-unrelated Google News results, and not much else. -- saberwyn 12:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC) reply
