Tagged as not showing sufficient notability for over a year. The references are all to their EU funding source(s) basically. I'm not convinced those are independent enough to pass WP:GNG. Someone not using his real name (talk) 03:14, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep This is one of the larger and older web archiving organizations. It archives important collections like the National Archives, CERN, etc.. The EU funding doesn't mean they are owned by the EU, it's an independent non-profit. It would pass WP:NGO. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 21:11, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, someone keeps creating articles about EU projects using very promotional and jargon-filled language (probably cut-n-paste from the proposals). It does not disqualify them per se but makes it harder to filter out the ones that are truly notable, and write articles in more neutral normal English about what they do. Let us work on this a bit and see if there are enough sources to justify. W Nowicki (talk) 20:21, 7 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep I looked up some books and scholarly papers, and it seems to qualify. Tried to remove some of the future tense promotional language. Still hard to guess what really happens there vs. the many other sites are listed under those research projects, but the projects are millions of Euros each, and are still going on nine years later.
