Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mars to Stay
the http://www.marstostay.com Mars to Stay 'Mars to Stay' has been up for over two years without ever eliciting a deletion suggestion. It contains unique, in-depth information on one-way missions to Mars; mentions in public media from NY Times op-eds to Mars Society Conference presentations, television interviews and mainstream books. Most importantly this article does not "cover generic colonization of Mars," which was the original complaint. That is the point of an article devoted to one way missions. It uniquely focuses upon missions for which return is not a goal, with reviews of several specific proposals by noted persons in space exploration from Aldrin to Zubrin to our current NASA admin.  Initially a Mars to Stay subsection was proposed for inclusion in the Colonization of Mars article mentioned above, but it quickly became apparent among maintainers of that page the depth and variety of proposals related uniquely to one way missions warranted an independent article. Rather than suggest this article now be collapsed back into an already convoluted general colonization article please present your ideas on how the  "we've got a wikipedia page" nature of any "proposal" can be "trimmed" as other readers suggest. One way missions are going to be "proposals" by their very nature. It is important though that their public mention and resources for further study be noted here.  Again, this is the first time 'Mars to Stay' has ever been suggested for deletion since its inception over two years ago. That should bare some consideration given the tens of thousands of people who have viewed its page without complaint
