This BLP on Timothy Buzza was created in 2016 by Brandybuzza and has been updated by Timbuzza64. It's illustrated with what seems to be one of Mr Buzza's vacation photos from Florence where he appears to be enjoying a nice Chianti or maybe it's a Brunello. While I'm unclear how it crests the WP:GNG, I would be happy to be proved wrong.

Presently there are several non-RS and non-INDEPENDENT sources, with the exception of one Quartz article and two WIRED articles. The Quartz article and WIRED article each mention Buzza in one sentence in a list of people. This WIRED [1] article gets closer to the idea of SIGCOV. A BEFORE on Google News, Google Books, and newspapers.com fails to unearth anything else.

Mr Buzza has been a VP at SpaceX, but we don't infer notability for CEOs let alone VPs. He is a Distinguished Engineer at Relativity Space and, while the title "distinguished" may sometimes infer notability under WP:NPROF it presumes it's awarded by a university, not a private company.

  • Delete - The Early Life section is irrelevant to notability. He worked at one place or another, and sometimes was a vice president. But mostly, this article is a bit of hype. — Maile (talk) 21:38, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete we are not Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. This is a prime example of the garbage that passes as autobiography. The subject's former direct report actively wants to destroy us, and this is indistinguishable from what would be written by an agent provocateur. I'm not accusing him, his wife, and his boss of a conspiracy, but if not, then why post this social media monstrosity? Ban them all, because in any case, they are not here to create an encyclopedia. I said what I said. Bearian (talk) 02:52, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Huh? Don't you mean the other way round; Buzza would have been a direct report to Musk? — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs) 02:56, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that's what I meant. Bearian (talk) 03:20, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. His name (Timothy or Tim) if he was as stated in the page as influential on the early commercial space industry, presumably, would have shaken out a lot of information. The space industry on the commercial side at minimum is hyper-chatty about their achievements (they had to be, to normalize the concept in moving away from the perception of state-controlled space agencies (NASA et al, other nations) controlling all the keys and controls. His name would have popped up. Sticking either into plain Google (@Chetsford:--you need to dig into regular Google too, deep, not just news), went to the last page offered, and worked backward. Not even newswire type spam. He may or may not be influential in that space, but I'm not seeing it. I hit other keywords too (I am familiar with this space) and nada. Presumably his influence was more under the hood and behind the scenes, but we need sources. We don't have them. Simple rote WP:GNG issues; nothing more. — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs) 02:59, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As per nomination of failing to satisfy the demands of WP:GNG as it feels more WP:PROMO than anything. MayhemStoppingBy (talk) 03:15, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
