The world may be "moving towards a new reality" about this article... Other than short mentions among other people in a few news articles, the only possible indicators of notability are the Randi prize (that is basically a trout from a skeptic about something that year) and about three pages of independent coverage in Guesses, Goofs & Prophetic Failures: What to Think When the World Doesn't End. A lot of self promotion on social networks and various fringe websites with mentions, but that's fringe "in-universe". — Paleo Neonate – 10:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - I was informed of the existence of another related article, Ground Crew Project by EricR. Since other possibilities than keep/delete exist as solutions, I thought it'd be worth mentioning here as well. Thanks, — Paleo Neonate – 20:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Ground Crew Project contains the same bio, so no need to even merge content. - LuckyLouie ( talk) 22:01, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. It may be better to have a Sheldan Nidle article, rather than Ground Crew Project article, but going by the current content delete per LuckyLouie and other issues can be fixed later.— eric 17:03, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - per LuckyLouie, there is no need for a merge. -- Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 08:34, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
