Does not seem to be notable, no citations whatsoever, the only claim of notability in the article is how the service is included with Google Earth. The ChampionMan 1234 06:10, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable. Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is based upon the availability of sources, and not whether or not sources are present in articles. Source examples:

The Telegraph
NASA
National Geographic
National Geographic
NBC News
New Scientist
Wired
NASA

Keep. That's pretty compelling evidence of notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:01, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While the NASA sources are not independent (this is a Google collaboration with NASA), Northamerica1000's other source finds are independent reliable sources in enough depth to satisfy WP:GNG. The article could use better references, but this is a surmountable problem, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. A notable topic and surmountable article problems suggest keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 17:13, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; evidence of notability has been shown, to satisfy WP:GNG. StringTheory11 (t • c) 19:53, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep --The subject is already notable, as shown by NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰; it will likely become more vital in at least the science and education realms as it gets developed further. (e.g., it's already a recommended site at Science Mars.) - Gorthian (talk) 19:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
