Art of Problem Solving

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article has been around for a long time, but I don't really see notability established. Nearly all the sources are self-published, one is a bookstore, and one is a broken link. I can't find much with a Google search (though the name doesn't make it easy). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:29, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment It's also about the AoPS website. But if you dont think the W sort code is appropriate, feel free to change it. Gandalf61 (talk) 14:37, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - the allied Art of Problem Solving Foundation should also be considered. TerriersFan (talk) 16:23, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * To a casual user, the current title of the article might suggest it deals with heuristics, so if the article is kept, it should be renamed to Art of Problem Solving (company). While the article as it stands doesn't seem to establish notability, it has quite a few inward links from other articles - one or two which probably should be to Heuristics, some just mentioning the company in passing but several substantive. However, as the company gets its own section in the article on its founder Richard Rusczyk, I'd suggest rename and redirect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PWilkinson (talk • contribs) 18:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", that does not exist on this company, therefore this should be deleted. Mtking (talk) 09:30, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
