No independent sources. This page and Cantus have drawn attention of WP:SPAs dedicated to promoting BEST's cantus activities. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:51, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Are you serious? Out of the 12 sources on this page, 10 are obviously independant.
 * Those are affiliated groups or groups they collaborate with. That's not the level of independence necessary to establish notability. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:18, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Do corporations count? Like Total S.A.? N1CK3Y (talk) 23:39, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Academic or journalistic sources are preferred. A corporate page announcing some sort of deal with BEST would not be independent. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you have an independent source confirming any official affiliation with those groups or any ongoing official collaboration? :)   PS: By proposing this page for deletion are you officially acknowledging BEST Cantus activities (as you've put it) :D This is getting better by the day :)   Mad_Duke (talk 00:43 CET - 20.03.2018.
 * Please remain civilised.  and  both return over 300 results. Strong keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by N1CK3Y (talk • contribs)
 * What results in particular are you pointing to? The sheer number of results doesn't matter.  You need to cite an independent source that provides in-depth coverage about the organization itself. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Why, the first one seems pretty promising, already. From "The province : Las Palmas daily", which provides us with pretty good coverage of the local EBEC round, with this as third paragraph : BEST (Board of European Students of Technology) es una organización de estudiantes universitarios de Europa sin ánimo de lucro. BEST Las Palmas planteó en esta edición un curso, que se desarrolló entre el 7 y el 15 de marzo bajo la coordinación de Vicente Díaz, profesor de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de la ULPGC y la dirección de Laura Ruíz y Miriam Corcos. Maybe this one is better, though : N1CK3Y (talk) 00:12, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Here's another good one : UNESCO. If it is possible to become more notable than this, explain me how. N1CK3Y (talk) 00:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The UNESCO source is closer to what is needed, but it needs to be in-depth coverage. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:17, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Article im Standard (Österreich) about the EBEC final round in Istanbul, august 2011. N1CK3Y (talk) 17:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Article in il Tempo Stretto about the autumn seasonal courses of 2013 Both are independant and (very) mainstream, both cover the two main types of events organised by BEST. N1CK3Y (talk) 17:43, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Are you trying to get blocked as a troll? Because you're doing a very good job of heading in that direction. All Wikipedia articles do is summarize mainstream academic or journalistic sources, sticking to independent ones when establishing notability. Your refusal to even consider that maybe you have no idea how things work here is astounding. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * All I can see is one guy (you) with a stick up your behind talking in 2 topics he knows nothing about :) Sir, please find a topic about some topic you are more familiar. This one is out of your league. Also, have you ever used google or found out how internet actually works? I guess not because you can't recognize a notable reference from a reputable source because you don't know what source that is in the topic of higher education. Mad_Duke (talk 01:13 CET - 20.03.2018.
 * Blocked. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:25, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * There is a "Board Of European Students of Technology" registered to the Belgian state here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.58.45.232 (talk • contribs)
 * That looks like a WP:PRIMARY source, which doesn't really establish notability. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:17, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Quick google search brought some articles: ;  ;   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.58.45.232 (talk) 15:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

 * What? N1CK3Y (talk) 16:58, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is written like a piece of promotional material and should be rewritten from the bottom up anyway. And the quality of the~current sources is not satisfactory. N1CK3Y (talk) 16:58, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
