Prometheus Institute

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is about a non-notable organization and was created by editors affiliated with the group. This organization, based in Southern California, should not be confused with the more prominent organization of the same name in Boston. The article has multiple references and external links but when you actually visit them, you find they are inadequate to establish notability.

 * Weak Delete for now. I am not entirely certain how to judge a think-tank organization. Right now I am focusing on how many notable individuals may be a part in combination with how often their research work is cited by mainstream publications, rather than Reason Magazine or the Cato Institute, which are generally sympathetic and probably have an interest in pimping this organization.  Just on my search, I didn't really find anything and none of the refs offer anything in this regard, just their own website, plus Greg Mankiw and Cato sites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Montco (talk • contribs)
