Alleged suicide attempt

[edit]

Her husband Jean-Pierre Haigneré said she did not attempt suicide. This should be taken into account and wikipedia should keep neutrality on this very private matter. Thank you. 92.131.155.98 (talk) 16:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well over one year after this incident, the article carries no mention of her hospitalization nor the coincidence of the fire in her lab that happened within hours. Yes, this is a biography of a living person, but she has been a prominently public figure. The purpose of this article is to present accurate information for potential benefit of the public at large. Wikipedia's own policy on BLP states: "If an allegation or incident is notable, relevant, and well-documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it."
While I agree that people's reputations should be protected against false accusations, I think it would be a mistake for this Wikipedia biography to outright ignore articles such as these three:
The fact that a doctor-cosmonaut was hospitalized near-death for an overdose is noteworthy of this biography. And the fire of unidentified cause at her research lab may be useful to someone studying DNA, or psychology, etc.--Tdadamemd (talk) 18:43, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The first link above is dead. The second link goes to someone's blog. The third link goes to what appears to be some kind of Internet version of a tabloid. None of these are valid sources. The New York Times on-line search facility yields only one short article about Haigneré: "World Briefing | Europe: Moscow: Greetings To Space Station/By MICHAEL WINES (NYT)OCT. 24, 2001/A Russian Soyuz spaceship carrying two Russian and one French astronaut docked with the International Space Station, and Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, on a visit to Moscow, greeted them by radio from the Russian mission control center outside the capital. The three astronauts will replace the space station's escape vehicle and conduct experiments involving weightlessness during the eight-day stay. The French astronaut, Claudie Haigneré, is the first French citizen to visit the station. Michael Wines (NYT)" That's it in its entirety. Your argument appears to be groundless.

However, Just because information is no longer available at the first URL. Doesn't mean it wasn't once common knowledge.

"She first qualified as an engineer and emergency pilot to the Space Shuttle"

[edit]

Some clarification is needed. France never had a Shuttle, and she didn't train at NASA, while the link points to the US Space Shuttle 134.204.42.202 (talk) 20:47, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
