Computational Chemistry Grid

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable computer cluster or NSF project. DMacks (talk) 20:33, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * keep nonnotable? Bullsit. The nom miserably failed with due diligence (google) - reliable sources abound. I did create the article in the early days of wp when rules for sourcing were lax, but since computational chemists dont give a fuck for improving it, me too. Whatever.- Altenmann >talk 22:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * It is a somewhat generic term, and lots of the hits I found were off-topic. I did find some guides to using it and organizations saying that they use it. It's been tagged for several months and I didn't quickly find in-depth review content about it in independent sources. DMacks (talk) 22:40, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I was able to find some independent sources in books, , . I'm not sure that is enough depth for notability, perhaps marginal notability? If not enough for standalone, merging into a computational chemistry article seems reasonable, but I don't know of a suitable target. -- 11:48, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Computational chemistry. This is apparently one of the many projects the NSF funds to see if something will come of it and then fade.  The site itself seems to have been abandoned sometime between 2015 and 2017 without anything approaching a final result or report.  The idea of computational chemistry is certainly notable but this particular project does not seem to have made much of an impact academically.

 * (as nominator) I would be fine with redirecting, and possibly a one-sentence about it there, but I don't know where "there" is. DMacks (talk) 14:40, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Computational chemistry and merge a summary sentence. The target is reasonable and a single sentence seems like due weight and will establish context for the redirect. -- 22:42, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I can not see this as notable on its own, but a merge to Computational chemistry would be fine with one or two sentences about the grid. --Bduke (talk) 08:16, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. Check their web site, https://www.gridchem.org/ . This is apparently a defunct project. My very best wishes (talk) 02:18, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect (not merge) to Comp. chem. - That one would use computers in computational chemistry is obvious, but this specific NSF-funded project to do so seems not particularly noteworthy such that it would merit a merge. No substantial independent sourcing for any of it so as a stand alone concept it would merit deletion. Agricolae (talk) 19:18, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete don't redirect I am sure there are lots of projects in computational chemistry, and I don't see why the computational chemistry article should mention this particular one just because an article about this particular one is up for deletion. This project isn't really about actual computational chemistry anyway, it's just a way of allocating processing time. I suppose a merge to Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment might have been appropriate as the Computational Chemistry Grid is an "Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment Science Gateway". However it's currently only a redirect to a sub-section.Pontificalibus 15:21, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
