Delete per nom - if he does do a spaceflight article can be recreated but nothing apparent to establish notability. On basis of articles obtained by User:Northamerica1000 this is probably borderline, so I'll change to neutral as the article needs significant work and sourcing.

Comment – Per a basic WP:BEFORE search, I found some articles and content about the subject in seconds, listed below. Not !voting at this time, but the subject has received some coverage outside of the purview of his books. Furthermore, coverage about a subject's books can qualify notability per WP:AUTHOR if independent book reviews in RS are available. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:03, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While much of the article and in fact the searches turn up puff pieces I am convinced there is notoriety in the subject: Perhaps not for the book (5 Day Weekend) which was a co-write situation, but more for the subject's wealth and ability to perhaps be a civilian moonwalker. I found references which appear in reliable sources: Forbes, Times of India, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Entrepreneur The article is in need of a Neutral POV rewrite (I started to add refs and rewrite a bit), however WP:NOTCLEANUP Seems this subject meets our general notability guidelines.

Weak Keep – Per a source review, just squeaks by WP:BASIC. Some sources have interview content, but also contain non-interview biographical information. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:42, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP Entertainers are notable based on their creation. If his book is notable, then so is he. Dream Focus 09:35, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - except he's not an entertainer, he's an entrepreneur. Bookscale (talk) 11:11, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - He is notable for being a "best-selling author". Anyway, doesn't matter, passes the general notability guidelines with coverage like this [1] Dream Focus 14:34, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Don't disagree with you - was just pointing out the error (in case there was some confusion about him meeting a guideline for entertainers). Bookscale (talk) 10:12, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
