National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou (NSCC-GZ)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

One-sentence stub about the building that hosts the Tianhe-1A supercomputer and someday will host the Tianhe-2. There, I just gave you the text of the article. This building has received no attention whatsoever from secondary sources. Wikipedia is not a directory of non-notable buildings. Coretheapple (talk) 20:14, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Too many problems. Not even sure if it is precisely a building, or an organization? In English the verb "hosts" is ambiguous. If it is a building, to be notable of course someone would need to have published an article somewhere about, say, how many square meters of floor space it had, or if some notable architect designed it, etc. I do not read Chinese and the web site Google translation is not clear. Also the title is not per style, with the acronym tacked on the end in parentheses. Finally it appears to be already out-dated. It uses future tense (see WP:CRYSTAL policy!) for an event that supposedly happened in November 2013, which is now in the past. The topic might be notable some day, and would be nice to have covered to help with the general US and Europe bias in the English Wikipedia, but if so I would suggest naming an article National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou as essentially a merge of Tianhe-I and Tianhe-2 (inconsistent numerical notation?). On the other hand, National University of Defense Technology might be the best place for the merged article, since it already is essentially just an overview of the two Tianhe articles and some other historical background. Or keep the separate computer articles and have National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou redirect to National University of Defense Technology until they become independently notable.
