[edit] Large Amateur Telescope

Delete Article about a proposed telescope does not say where, when, how or why. Prod was removedPorturology 13:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Eivind 14:58, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Looks like a notable project from their web site, but fails a Lexis/Nexis search, and web site has not been updated in 14 months. Have they ever been written up in Sky & Telescope or something similar? Should be kept with rewrite to bring in history, photos, progress to date; but might still fail notability if no external write-ups. Thatcher131 15:51, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Current content is "The Large Amateur Telescope is a large (1.8 meter or 70 inch) telescope being built by and for the use of amateur astronomers." This has not been significantly edited since Mar 2004. The quoted Web site was last updated in Dec 2004. If someone can add to this it may be worthwhile but at the moment it looks like some groups dream project, which has fallen by the wayside. User:Thatcher131, are you volunteering to verify and rewrite this article?--Porturology 02:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

No, but someone removed the prod tag. Thatcher131 02:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Removed (with many others) by user:Golfcam Reason: "Vanity not proven" Fair enough, but he is not going to repair it and it is currently devoid of any meaningful content--Porturology 03:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - the site says "Last update, December 30, 2004." - doesn't seem to be active. -- infinity0 17:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
