[edit] Hexayurt

Hexayurt (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article has a number of problem: there are no reliable third-party sources, notability has not been established, and User:Vinay Gupta appears to have conflict of interest being both an editor of the article and mentioned in it as the inventor. This appears to be a vanity page. GlassFET 16:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - COI aside, I was unable to find any reliable sources writing about the Hexayurt. -- Whpq 16:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi.

In terms of reliable sources about the hexayurt, I'd suggest that you check the *press* page of the web site where you can see a write up including Hexayurt-related material from the New York Times, or the Architecture for Humanity book.

http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_press

for the infrastructure package, there's the following PDF:

http://www.archive.org/download/HexayurtPresentation/Hexayurt_pentagon_presentation.pdf

The main site is http://hexayurt.com/

As for having edited the article - yeah, I had no idea that was an issue - I just added brief factual notes about the project on Appropedia so that people could find it.
