- Comment. There is little evidence of activity since 2002, but in that year there were quite a few mentions, including some press. Perhaps a mere update of its status is in order? Ziggurat 00:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- So it was someone's CS research project which didn't get funded. Having a few mentions in print around the time the project starts is typical, and doesn't make it notable. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 18:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, well, I'm not a fan of notability as a deletion criterion. The question of what level of coverage is appropriate to keep an article is more relevant; and I'm inclined to agree that what's present isn't enough, unless some more info can be found. Ziggurat 22:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
