Non-notable. All of the references appear to stem from a single event (BLP1E) and several of them appear to be copies, translations, or summaries of one original source. Following YouTube video instructions to build a working 3D printer is an achievement, to be sure, but not something which rises to the level of notability, as Wikipedia defines it. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only known for a single event, and that event most anywhere would be on the back pages of the newspaper alongside the waterskiing budgerigars. "Man follows instructions to make 3D printer" is just as noteworthy as "man learns to cook risotto from a recipe". —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 03:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It took me 20+ hours to edit and develop the article and gather the links. So naturally this decision caught me off guard. So go ahead with the plans and don't wait for me, count me out, I'm done with wiki for a while Darkwolfz (talk) 21:37, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't change the fact that this is "waterskiing budgerigar" levels of banal chicken-dinner news that wouldn't be considered as serious sources under any circumstance in the first place. Following instructions to make a 3D printer is not newsworthy, no matter what outlets run the story. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 05:21, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

dont delete - 3d printer is not just a small thing, read the articles. Creating a 3d printer is a major thing. This is a very big achievement for anyone. All news covered it including bbc khaleej, all majors news in India and in foreign too. Gaurav (talk)— Gau187 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete: Fails WP:GNG and is written like an advertisement. Ken Tony ^{Shall we discuss?} 15:08, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, @Ken Tony:? Your logic is nonsensical. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 17:08, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jéské Couriano. I typed it by mistake. Now I fixed it. Thank you for letting me know. Ken Tony ^{Shall we discuss?} 05:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
