Pizzimenti appears to be an avid and even knowledgeable amateur "space-ologist" -- a collector of space memorabilia and stories -- but I find no valid argument to call him notable. What press coverage I can find about him appears to be in the form of announcements of shows or lectures he is presenting, but no substantial independent coverage.

Delete - It seems like someone with the credentials stated in the article would have more obvious reliable sources covering him in a non-trivial way (announcements of speaking engagements doesn't make one notable for an encyclopedia or else everyone who talks at a local historical society or hosts a book/knitting/chess club that gets into a weekly paper's events pages would all have articles too). There's a slim possibility that there could be foreign language sources we are missing, but ultimately it's up to the article to prove notability, not us to prove lack of notability, so it should be deleted.

::Comment: I should also add that the listed ISBN of the book he is said to have written does not come up in a WorldCat search or in the Università degli Studi di Pavia Library (book is Italian, that's a major Italian library) using the Wikipedia ISBN/book links page.

Delete, fails WP:GNG, lack of independent and reliable third party sources. - Mailer Diablo 02:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
