Wikipedia is not a crystal ball[edit]

Someone plans to build something some day. This is not an article, it's speculation based on press releases. Is there even a building permit taken out yet? --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I've been checking up on this, and it's not looking good. Some items:

There's "Pegasus Global Holdings" mentioned here, and "Pegasus-Global Holdings", a consulting firm in Washington state.[1]. They are not affiliated.
"Pegasus Global Holdings" doesn't seem to have ever built anything or done anything. There's a mention of a commercial spaceport project on their site, but nothing came of that. All sources seem to come from their own PR efforts.
There's no indication anywhere of where the funding is coming from.

This is looking very suspicious. The article needs to be revised to reflect that this is proposed, and not funded. --John Nagle (talk) 16:16, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion[edit]

Actually, deletion isn't appropriate. There's more than enough press coverage for notability. Even if it turns out to be a scam, it will still be notable. --John Nagle (talk) 05:50, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just went bust.[edit]

The project just went bust. Developers pull plans for New Mexico ghost town: "Last month, Robert Brumley, managing director of the project, said groundbreaking would likely be delayed until August because of problems closing on the land. On Friday evening, he said the group was pulling out “due to some very complicated and unforeseen issues with acquiring the land.”" --John Nagle (talk) 20:37, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added that to the article in the Location section. --George100 (talk) 23:49, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changed article to past tense, reflecting project cancellation. --John Nagle (talk) 17:57, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The promoters gave a presentation to Dona Ana County's commissioners in January 2013, who expressed support but didn't put in any money or resources or approvals. No news since then. --John Nagle (talk) 05:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In August 2013, the editor of Future Cities tried to find out if the project was still on. They couldn't find anyone who said it was. So I updated the article accordingly. --John Nagle (talk) 05:56, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Undid hype, per WP:CRYSTAL. That's the CNN Style section interviewing Brumley, not news.[edit]

Well, there's "news" about the project, but the story seems to be just someone from CNN's style section interviewing Brumley, the promoter[2]. There's no indication of this being any more real than it was the last three times around. John Nagle (talk) 17:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
