This
living person has attracted wide media attention. This is the reason I have declined the
WP:A7. In my opinion, this article fails the test of
WP:BLP1E, as Mr Zeferu has only "made the news" for his home-made aircraft.
As always, please prove me wrong.

If he successfully flies his aeroplane in the future, he would be the world's first to do so. He apparently made it out of Youtube tutorials, which is quite amazing. Maybe this isn't enough, perhaps? I'd continue to search for sources.

Keep. We need a global historical perspective here. The Zeferu K570A is to Northern Africa as all those pioneer aircraft were to Europe, which failed to fly between 1903 when the Wrights first took America into the air, and 1906 when Santos-Dumont did the same for Europe: failures like the
Phillips Multiplane I and
Vuia I. This article needs more work to add the aeroplane, is all. (And if the K570A does eventually fly, it will become as notable to North African history as the
Santos-Dumont 14-bis is to Western European history.) — Cheers,
