Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dewey Smith
As the article's creator, I will repeat the comment I previously made on the article's talk page:  "I have been writing a long series of articles about aquanauts who served as NEEMO crew members, but this is admittedly not necessarily enough by itself to establish notability.  As can be seen from the list of references, Smith's death has been discussed in a major published work of non-fiction (Ben Hellwarth's ''Sealab'') and in multiple media sources.  Moreover, although there have been far more people who have qualified as aquanauts than as astronauts over the decades, to my knowledge only three aquanauts have ever died as a result of participating in an underwater habitat program:  Berry L. Cannon, Joachim Wendler and Smith.  The rarity of this event may go some way toward suggesting notability, while Smith's participation in NEEMO 13 may make  less applicable
