Hexayurt
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Barely cited, barely notable. Most of the article is cut'n'pasted OR from the project's wiki. Puffery. Page talks about "forthcoming" plans cited to the single RS, which is from 2006. WP:BEFORE check shows little to no evidence of notability. Started by a friend of the founder, but problems have been flagged for a couple of years unfixed. The history shows this has never been an adequate article, since its recreation in 2009. David Gerard (talk) 11:11, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: the best sourcing available, NYT, only mentioned this in passing. I can't find any substantial coverage. Marquardtika (talk) 15:42, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak keep: There are better sources than are on the article now, with more than passing references to hexayurts. A quick search finds articles from Wired, Wired again, BoingBoing and FastCompany. The article needs serious work, but it's not obvious that it fails notability. I only say weak keep because I can't see myself doing the necessary work in the near future. --Chriswaterguy talk 15:33, 7 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I just removed all the dubious and completely uncited content - there are literally three sentences left. (I left the completely uncited intro, else it would have been just the third sentence.) If there's an article to be written about this, the first thing is for someone to bother writing it - David Gerard (talk) 17:38, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Good call. --Chriswaterguy talk 12:39, 9 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep: References are mentioned above and there are more. StrayBolt (talk) 09:45, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * delete even after some cleanup it remains clearly promotional; there are insufficient sources with which to generate a decent Wikipedia article. Jytdog (talk) 01:58, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * delete non notable & promotional, looks like promoting "Vinay Gupta" Heshiv (talk) 14:08, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Based on your comment, I reduced the designer's name mentions in the prose from 2 back to 1. StrayBolt (talk) 15:21, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
