This is a starting article which we are presently adding to while the public elements of the project are entering final stages of production before official press launches live. An under-construction website [] is presently accessible detailing foundation goals. As well as established social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo [presently empty]) we also operate a Researchgate scholar account which so far details the 'Preliminary Specifciations' guide for the intended archival elements alongside a pre-print of a catalogue documenting the cultural signature of Earth i.e. transmissions and other objects in space - content which is the subject of other Wikipedia articles. RE: 2016, the foundation was initially founded as a society amongst a few dedicated researchers but we have since decided to officially apply for foundation status with OSCR registry pending, Bylaw publication to subsequently follow. We are also part of an informal, communal network of similar entities (some of which have have been listed below in the 'See Also' column) with partnerships pending on additional collaborations. Please let me know if you have any additional queries and I'll endeavour to respond - always at hand to help.

 * Comment - hi, an interesting article to be sure, but unfortunately there are a number of things in your answer here that are going to end up being flattened.


 * Articles in the mainspace are expected to meet the minimum requirements from c.1 hour after creation. Notability in particular should exist now or have the article deleted


 * The press launches, under-construction website, social media channels, vimeo and internally produced journals are all unsuitable sources for wikipedia - they are all both original research (not permitted for anything other than very basic details) and non-independent. They specifically cannot support notability, which requires secondary sources.


 * Working with a group of similar entities also won't provide anything that combats the nominator's argument (unless there were some sources about the overall group and you changed to make the article about the group as a whole).


 * Since all the actual functional changes came from you, I suspect you could probably have the article draftified, where it would be removed from the main article space and be returned to a proto-article which you can edit until it has sufficient notability/suitable sources.

Thank you for clarity and the comments Nosebagbear. I'll transfer this document to My Sandbox to be saved as a draft for further review under the above criteria with later publication when there are secondary, non-OR sources available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quastie (talk • contribs) 15:58, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
