Best of Biotech

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I cannot find significant coverage for this competition. Please note that most of the Google News archive hits are from the phrase "best of biotech", and only a few are brief mentions on the competition.  — fetch ·  comms   00:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Please cite the appropriate guideline to argue for the deletion of this competition. If this article is deleted then all business plan competition articles need to be deleted. Coverage on google news cannot be taken as the sole way to confirm that a competition is not covered. Most of the coverage is in print magazines/newspapers and not necessarily online. The competition is covered in daily newspapers in Austria (Die Presse, Standard etc.) as well as in international biotech related magazines in Central Europe.

 * Keep. Contrary to the nomination many of the Google News hits are about this competition, and, as indicated above, some of these amount to substantial coverage in two of Austria's leading newspapers, Der Standard und Die Presse. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, I guess, although I'm not too enthusiastic about this article. Der Standard has indeed covered it in several, albeit short and shallow, articles (I didn't check the Die Presse articles). On the other hand, the article states that total prize money of €170,000 has been awarded since 2000, which seems awfully small if correct, and more in keeping with the resources of a local science fair than a major international competition.
