Cross-wiki spam, disguised by multiple but related IP's The Banner  talk 15:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Definite red flag of spam, upon further check with other wiki. Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 15:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The Dutch version of this article is also nominated for deletion. There is in fact a whole bunch of French institutions that is written/expanded by one range of IPs: 2a01:c000::/19. One of the IPs worked on the article] in French, German en Wikidata, all on the same day. The Banner  talk 17:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * And no, in this case I have no clue how to start a sockpuppet investigation as it looks to be a case against an IP-range. The Banner  talk 18:00, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I think you need to think on previous warnings given to you : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AThe+Banner 92.184.116.233 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:45, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * LOL, you have already lack of content based arguments that you have to become personal? The Banner  talk 10:19, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Please stop having fun on Wikipedia and doing WP:POV. Here it is a serious place. Thank you. 2A01:CB09:D033:B009:FD83:808E:1B28:F6B7 (talk) 10:21, 20 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. This is very notable institution, public, non-profil, worldwide known. English Wikipedia is not Dutch Wikipedia. I am also wondering about WP:POV of « The Banner » user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.184.116.35 (talk • contribs)
 * Yes, I understand that you want to protect this article. Funny enough, in this whole mess there are IPs active from two IP-ranges. The one mentioned above and the range 92.184.116.0 - 92.184.117.255. And see, we have two IPs from that range. The Banner  talk 10:26, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Once again, please stop using Wikipedia to have fun and make jokes. I am sure you will find other places for that. Thank you very much for your understanding. 92.184.107.70 (talk) 10:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I guess you will find this a joke too? Sockpuppet investigations/YtoSu. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 11:31, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article bas not been created by « ip » but by myself. I did it because it is a non-profit very famous institution on genetics. Last but not least, English Wikipedia is not the Dutch Wikipedia. YtoSu (talk) 08:51, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete On top of the other stuff, it doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, either. Language barrier likely affecting BEFORE, but the article has only provided three references, two of which are not independent. I'm not following the "English Wikipedia is not Dutch Wikipedia" statements.  What does that mean for keeping an article?  Side question: Why is this tagged as an AfC submission?  I can't tell that it actually was... -2pou (talk) 15:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - changing !vote per sources uncovered below showing that they WP:NEXIST. Thanks for posting them,  & . -2pou (talk) 06:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Admittedly the current sourcing makes the baby Jesus cry, but there are at least a couple of serious articles about the project:, . Branciard (ref #1) may be connected to the project, Dupuy-Maury (ref #2) appears to be an independent journalist. Not sure whether that's sufficient for GNG, but I would tend to say yes. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:42, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no clear opinion on whether this particular page should be kept. However, I think we need an article on biocluster, which appears to be what they're calling sort of miniature Silicon Valleys for biotech these days.  There were 180 of them in Europe a decade ago, according to that 2011 paper.  It's possible that this page should be kept, and it's possible that it would make more sense to write a more general article and list it as an example of their intentional specialization in "biotherapies" (vs. other specific biological sciences or vs. a random assortment of biological sciences).  WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:40, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources from Le Parisien, Les Echos , La Tribune make the article pass WP:GNG. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 01:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

So, effectively this article is created by a sockpuppeteer? The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 16:01, 21 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm leaning towards WP:TNT prima facie it appears notable, however the sockpuppeting activities is of concern. -- Devoke water   (talk)  17:17, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per sources above <span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> // Timothy ::  talk  13:33, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
