The result was   speedy keep. I recommend the nominator read Deletion policy and Deletion policy. Very minimal research would have found that this is not a hoax, and that there are plentiful sources to be found on the internet; adding some would probably have been just as fast as adding templates and bringing the article up here. Lack of references in an article is not grounds for deletion, if references can be found. Nominations like this do not help improve Wikipedia. -- SCZenz (talk) 18:39, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Being unreferenced is an excellent reason to improve, but not to delete. There are many news results that can be used for verification, and show clear notability. Kevin (talk) 10:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep if properly sourced, however if no sources can be provided, I would suggest deletion, as the article claims notability, but shows no proof of said claims. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 11:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * speedy keep nomination is a WP:POINT violation. Nominator is perfectly aware of this institution's notability, and is using lack of references as a pretext for deletion.  Jessika Folkerts/62.235.215.231 is retaliating against User:Crusio's participation in Articles for deletion/The Social Capital Foundation (2nd nomination) by nominating his home institution for deletion, see also Suspected sock puppets/Jessika Folkerts.

 * Speedy Keep. I am sorry, but is this nomination a joke? CNRS is a major governmental agency funding scientific research in France, on par with NSF. If anyone seriously doubts notability here, GoogleNews gives 37,500 (yes, that many!) hits . Nsk92 (talk) 15:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
