Given the size of the section (The Connor Group) on this page, is it worth considering giving it its own page? I am a new user and don't have the ability to do this, but given that half of this biography page is on that topic, seems like it would be worth considering.

His motorsports/aviation career was deleted in 2017 [1], the categories don't make sense without it. It needs to be restored in some manner, as a sportsbio section.

You removed the content but the categories do not match the content after it was removed. That makes no sense, as you left the categories. Thus, the categories need content to support their inclusion. You could have left a sentence for why the categorization exists. (ie. what championship circuits he raced in) And I did not say just revert the deletion, I said some sort of restoration, ie. some form of better summary. That would form a separate (sub)section, a "sports career" section with a sentence or two for each categorization. A reader should not need to click into each reference and read the linked references, in order to understand why the article is categorized into which categories appear on the article. -- 65.93.183.33 (talk) 12:27, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unless Connor’s racing activities were covered in reliable secondary sources, they do not belong to the article and all of the racing-related categories should be removed. -- Ariadacapo (talk) 14:12, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This section is written more like an article for The Connor Group instead of a section for a biography of its founder. It should either be split off into a separate group, or rewritten and downsized. It should not be a section about the business, it should be about his involvement in the business. The section of the headquarters does not belong here. It would only belong in an article about the business, not one about the founder. -- 65.93.183.33 (talk) 12:27, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An IP editor and I are disagreeing about how to qualify Connor (see recent edits). I can see why NASA would qualify their customer as a "private astronaut" (it does sound much more pleasing), but as I understand it, the practice on English Wikipedia is to refer to fare-paying people as space tourists. See Space tourism and even Axiom Mission 1. I would appreciate other editors’ input on this. Thank you. Ariadacapo (talk) 06:54, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am reverting the changes from the IP editor now. There is no mention of "private astronaut" I could find on Wikipedia. This sounds like puffery to me. If we want to refer to space tourists as such, then a good place to start would be space tourism. An edit from a single-purpose account who mislabels their edits as "fixing spelling errors" on an article with a controversial history is not a good way to start.
