Personally, I would just delete the article -- she isn't a pioneer in her field and the trophy doesn't seem that notable -- but any nomination would likely attract a raft of hardcore "inclusionists" and there are plenty of sources to demonstrate "notability".

(Sorry for slow replies, moderation.)
I think most of us would agree she has achieved nothing worthy of actually having a wiki entry. The two journeys she undertook were extremely well funded and designed to promote Boeing and Artemis.

Many pilots undertake genuine long distance solo flights every year but do not warrant wiki entries.

If she is entitled to a wiki article it follows that Ewald Gritsch must also qualify as he restored the Spirit of Artemis and has admitted he was in the front seat throughout.

Aslthough reference to the two accidents has now reappeared the helicopter is described as damaged while the CAA website lists it as destroyed. G-LHXL http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapp...llregmark=LHXL

Why not just delete the article?

It appears she is just using wiki as a promotional tool

The list below has now appeared. Appearances with an aircraft worthy of a wiki entry? If they were Barry Tempest would have a massive wiki page.
