Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:BIO Hu12 (talk) 17:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not a biography, user BEETSTRA instructed me to create the article. the competition is mentioned in the creators wikipedia article as well for notability. It is in its 21st year as well. Engineer4life (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

can you be specific as to what section? Engineer4life (talk) 17:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC) In addition, by comparing other articles in the Robotics Competition category, I don't see what the article violates. The others are not labeled AFD. Engineer4life (talk) 17:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

If you add some references from primary reliable sources (not from organisation/persons that are involved, but from other places), then you show notability.
By the way, I think:
  • keep, Jerry Sanders is a real person, there seems to be media attention, and the robotics team also seems notable. The articles can use some serious work, though, see WP:MOS. --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Withdraw Nomination. perhaps premature. Lets see where its at after being worked on some more.--Hu12 (talk) 18:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
