I have removed an unsourced and arguably contentious statement from this article (see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material). If the statement can be sourced, it can be reinstated. Gildir ( talk) 18:48, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
This article needs a date and location of birth. RockMagnetist ( talk) 18:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
The recent AfD ended in no consensus (default to keep), but there is almost universal recognition that the article is WP:PUFF. I'll give others the first right of refusal for a week or two to delete unsourced/promo material, otherwise I'll take a crack at it myself. Thanks, Agricola44 ( talk) 16:12, 26 December 2012 (UTC).
The article has now gone through back-to-back AfDs, both ending in no-consensus. The main problem is that there are still lots of sources that are not WP:RS/ WP:INDY, which create a strong perception of non-notability (not to mention that they violate WP:BLP, which importantly puts the burden of proof on inclusion). I propose that the sources in this article must be brought in-line with WP:BLP/ WP:RS/ WP:INDY according to the following observations and will wait a few weeks (to give other interested parties right of first refusal) before making these changes.
with content edited commensurately with the above changes. Comments welcome. Agricola44 ( talk) 18:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC).
She is now a NASA astronaut so I guess this solves the issue of notability. Hektor ( talk) 16:00, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I thought it was the convention to not call someone an astronaut (cosmonaut, taikonaut, etc.) until they've actually traveled to space, which Meir has not. Is that not the case anymore? -- Hux ( talk) 16:45, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
I'm thinking this might need to be restructured. I've found a whole bunch more info on NASA's site, and even before I add it, this section is still looking a bit long and a list-like. It's turning into, at this point, into a bunch of unlinked statements. Also, she has recently done some work with ESA which I don't think ought to fall under the category of 'NASA career'. Maybe 'Aerospace career'? 'Spaceflight career'? I'd appreciate a little guidance/advice because I'm a little unsure; since I'm a relatively new user. Thanks :) Watermelon-lemon ( talk) 00:19, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Excellent biography in first person - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91_GOkbWNjA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.168.78.89 ( talk) 13:09, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Regarding "Relevance of Hanukkah celebration? Not the first Jewish astronaut to do so, much less the first astronaut to celebrate a religious holiday in space"—what matters, in my opinion, is what is applicable to the subject of the biography. Firsts are not necessarily what matters. Pinging Rosbif73. Bus stop ( talk) 19:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Greetings. Could a gallery be started of Jessica Meir, with pictures of her doing various tasks like spacewalk training, etc. An example would be on Sunita Williams' article here. I once added a few images on this article, but removed them out of fear of getting penalized for not having permission in the first place. These are the 2 files I would like added in the main article: File:Jessica Meir - Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (1).jpg File:Meir and Hill.jpg I know the Meir & Hill image is of poor quality, so can you look for another image of her at NASA before becoming an astronaut? I don't want to "bloat the article" or anything, but I think it would be better to add more pictures. That's all. Cheers. Jgwilliams873 ( talk) 18:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Jessica Meir (born 1977) is an American-Swedish NASA astronaut, marine biologist, and physiologist. She was previously an assistant professor of anesthesia at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, following postdoctoral research in comparative physiology at the University of British Columbia. She has studied the diving physiology and behavior of emperor penguins in Antarctica, and the physiology of bar-headed geese, which are able to migrate over the Himalayas. Meir launched on September 25, 2019, to the International Space Station onboard Soyuz MS-15, where she served as a flight engineer during Expedition 61 and Expedition 62. On October 18, 2019, Meir and Christina Koch became the first women to participate in an all-female spacewalk. Photograph credit: Robert Markowitz
