Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Armstrong (diver) (2nd nomination)
On Wikipedia the concept of notability depends on a subject being brought to the public's attention by independent sources. There are examples of these in the article. In 2010 The Learning Channel produced a documentary called "Return To The Bermuda Triangle" where the producers of the documentary interviewed Armstrong and filmed him diving over four days for a section of that documentary. A similar, if less prominent example, is the History Channel's show Mega Movers on the recovery of a B-52 bomber from a depth of 150 feet which featured Armstrong. We seem to have lost the online ABC news coverage of Armstrong's search for Gertrude Tompkins Silver, but I assume in good faith that the coverage existed at the time the article was written. The Rubicon Foundation maintains probably the largest collection of medical information concerned with diving, aerospace and space. To have been a founder board member of that organisation was a notable event at the time, and although it seems that Armstrong has now stepped down to an advisory capacity, we maintain a policy that |notability is not temporary. Scuba diving is a niche activity and we don't expect much coverage even for prominent figures in the field, but when we can point to multiple instances of an individual actually attracting some public attention, we ought to be able to sustain a Wikipedia article on that subject
