ETICS

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable project. One of a number of articles created in an effort to promote the EU Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development. Hardly any of these have notability independent from their organizers/participants and this one is no exception. No independent sources (references present are articles/presentations by project members, no significant third-party coverage). Does not meet WP:GNG. Crusio (talk) 10:19, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Yet another EU research program with vague but ambitious goals and no evidence of tangible achievement.  Current text violates neutrality and is too imprecise to improve by editing. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. The achievements of ETICS project are exploited by several other large follow-up projects, initiatives, and companies. E.g. among others the European Middleware Initiative (EMI), the SCIentific gateway Based User Support (SCI-BUS) project, and the 4D SOFT Ltd. - Robert Lovas - 11:19, 4 September 2011 (UTC) — rlovas (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
