Contested deletion

[edit]
  • This article should not be speedily deleted because 1.) this is not about one incident, but at least four incidents, 2.)jetpacks are rare, expensive items which shows that this person(s) has means 3.)There are only a handful of UFO-level sightings every year, and this is one of them which makes it noteworthy. Note: I started the article. --Victor Grigas (talk) 16:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a biography

[edit]

I argue that this is an unidentified flying object article, not a biography. My reasoning is that it is a mystery as to what this flying object is. No one can say yet if it this is a man, a woman, a robot, a mannequin, a human-shaped hot-air balloon or what. No one can say if it is alive or not. 'Jetpack man' as a name is simply what has been gleaned from news reports. I don't know how it could fall into the status of biography if we cannot say if it is even a person. Should it come out that this is a person, then it is a biography, but until then it is a UFO. Victor Grigas (talk) 17:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So this article is about an unidentified flying object that appears to be a person. Until you can cite sources that prove, perhaps beyond reasonable doubt, that what people are seeing is not a person and are not phenomena being perpetrated by people, I don't think you can discount this article being a biography. Most of the cited sources attribute these phenomena to activities of a human. The title of the article, and its content, also suggests that this article is about a person who is sharing airspace with and flying near aircraft. The fact that person remain unidentified does not exclude writing a biography about them. Also, if this activity not being perpetrated by a person then it cannot be crime either, because only people can commit crime. However, in the absence of evidence otherwise, let us say it is a biography, for now. Even if it is not a biography of a living person, all the pilots who are reporting these phenomena are living people, so WP:BLP policies still apply. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:56, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is a UFO nor even a human in a jetpack.

[edit]

It's highly likely to be a drone shaped like a human, if emitting gas it is likely to be a combustion motor, if no gas emitted it is likely a battery powered motor. If having a high visibility to the unidentified jetpack user try notifying the public news if you live in LA, RECOMMENDATION ONLY. JaFryingPan (talk) 02:14, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
