Engineering For Kids

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't think the sources are adequate to show notability. Ref 3 & 4 are uncritical articles in a local paper, explicitly in a section saying that it is there to provide "occasional articles about local entrepreneurs" The articles are clearly based on their PR and not showing discriminating coverage--like most local papers,  probably they cover anything local. . Ref 1, in a major national magazine, might be a good source, but also seems to be contaminated by PR--it's an uncritical interview where the founder says what she wants to. Ref 2 Is by the founder herself, in the Huffington Post, which increasingly serves as a source for such self-promotion.

I would not have nominated this for deletion a year ago. I think we should have less tolerance for somewhat promotional articles about borderline notable organizations with weak sourcing   DGG ( talk ) 00:46, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - The HuffPo peice is a primary source as it is written by the founder. The 2 Fredriksburg sources are from a local community paper.  Marie Claire is a reliable source, but that piece is an interview, and interviews are rather marginal for establishing notability.  I can find no other coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 20:41, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
