Groasis Waterboxx

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

To my opinion an advertisement. It is part of a wikiwide promotion campaign run by a SPA (only created and maintains this article, the inventor and his by now removed company) Night of the Big Wind  talk  14:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think the references indicate notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 16:33, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep – Concerns about tone/style can be easily addressed by copy editing, per WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM. The topic passes WP:GNG. Some examples of reliable sources comprised of significant coverage:
 * The New York Times – Developing a ‘Water Battery’ for Trees
 * Popular Science Magazine – AquaPro Holland Groasis Waterboxx
 * Popular Science Magazine – Invention Awards: A Box That Keeps Plants Hydrated in the Desert

 * Comment - The article has been copy edited to address and correct promotional tone matters. Northamerica1000(talk) 17:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG and is well sourced. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:44, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am now in dubio. The article is now far more neutral in form, but it is still part of a campaign over several Wiki's, including the English, Finnish, Dutch and Spanish one... Night of the Big Wind  talk  09:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Content is referenced and contains little or no claims beyond what can be reliably referenced.
 * The "Background" section could use some more inline referencing.
 * User Special:Contributions/Ingeev does seem to be a WP:Single-purpose account, and should be monitored. Apart from his/her contributions, there is no indication of organized effort. I created this article, and I have nothing to do with Groasis.
 * I agree that content from the Pieter Hoff-article should be removed, but which is the third article BigWind speaks of ?
 * As long as the other language Groasis articles copy this English one and its references, I see nothing wrong with that. TGCP (talk) 13:09, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Already removed as advertisement by speedy delete:  Night of the Big Wind  talk  17:14, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
