BasicATOM

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

Contested PROD. Non-notable computer chip, no reliable sources for verification. Glass  Cobra  14:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - The article needs to be cleaned up, but notability is certainly arguable. A quick google check for "BasicATOM" turns up 218,000 hits. I would suggest tagging the article for clean up and adding sources. There are references both from the ACM and Penn State. Bkellihan (talk) 21:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Turning up 218,000 (actually 216,000) hits on google seems to mean there is quite a bit of interest in the content of the article and hardly makes it "non-notable". I was trying to add references to the article when it was tagged. If there are any comments on what should and should not be included in the article I would like to hear them as I thought I was abiding by the guidelines.

 * Note that searching for "+basicatom" on Google, so as to remove all the "basic atom" hits, turns up only about 13000 hits, and I can't find anything remotely resembling significant 3rd party sources on the first few pages, so my vote is delete. --Slashme (talk) 12:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Note: the microcontroller's name is spelled both as "BASIC Atom" (two words) and "BASICAtom" (one word). For example, the "BASIC Atom Pro" uses the two word version. Bkellihan (talk) 19:23, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
