No indication of notability - a number of people circumnavigate the globe but not everyone is notable Gbawden (talk) 12:13, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Comment: Not everyone who circumnavigates the globe is notable, but not everyone gets news articles written about them in the Washington Post and USA Today either. That complicates things for me, though I'm still undecided on this one. TheBlueCanoe 12:20, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. Enough people have circumnavigated the globe that this is not such a notable accomplishment, any more than climbing Mount Everest. They're not Ferdinand Magellan. If somebody ever creates List of people who have circumnavigated the world, they can go on there. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

• keep. if Wikipedia can have separate articles on episodes of sitcoms, then this is easily more notable than that. this was a genuine national news item. I do think this meets the standard of notability. --Sm8900 (talk) 03:30, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

• You've said it yourself: "news item". Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

• Relist rationale: Very little here appears, as it is written, to be based on Wikipedia's guidelines or policies. Please remember that AfD is not a vote, thank you. --j⚛e decker^talk 15:17, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

• What, NONEWSPAPER doesn't count? Alright then, it fails WP:EVENTCRIT. It has no lasting impact and hasn't been the subject of post-event analysis. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:38, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete – Fails notability, per nominator. United States Man (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
