Smith's middle name is spelled "DeWayne" (with a capital "W") in some sources, including what appears to be
his grandfather's obituary and a
PowerPoint presentation co-written by his girlfriend, Meredith Kintzing. (Kintzing is mentioned as Smith's girlfriend in the obituary at legacy.com and the External Review Board Report, both linked from the main article). The name is spelled "Dwayne" in the notes section of the Hellwarth book.
The tributes to Smith on
this thread are heartbreakingly poignant, but I did not incorporate any information from them into the article, since discussion board threads are not usually acceptable sources for Wikipedia.

Thank you for your input. As I have commented previously at
Talk:Jonathan Dory, 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
WP:ONEEVENT less applicable.
