WP:NOTABILITY - none of the references provided are about the organization Smart Children, and there is no notabiity claim made. (Technically, this should have been taken care of through the speedy delete, but the speedy was declined on the basis that the article had some references.)

 * Comment (well, question): What RS are you pointing to that pertains to the organization that the article is about? The article puts forth no sources on the organization at all, so if you have sources that establish the notability of this organization, I suggest you add them to the article. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - I reviewed the article, and of all the references listed (based on the descriptions given), zero are about the organization (no mention even in passing). I reviewed the link to the organization website where all of this information was lifted from (not quite a copy-vio, but a rewording of what was there - references are identical as well). The author has defended this on the talk page by stating this is the information the organization bases itself on. That's interesting, but doesn't establish notability for the article in question.

 * Delete This article reads like an essay but also appears to be promoting something called "Smart Children". It took some digging to find out what "Smart Children" is (company? organization? charity?); it turns out to be a couple of people who put on workshops claiming to make children smarter. No coverage found of them or their workshops. --MelanieN (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
